ANS: D
The demands of illness lead to increased nutritional needs. A child with cancer needs increased nutrition. Cancer does not consume body tissues. The child may be going through a growth spurt, but this is not always the case and is not the best answer. Asking the parents how they know the child's eating habits have changed may put them on the defensive.
