Explain their pathophysiologiesarrow_forwardExplain: Nutritional metabolic pattern Interpretation: DEVIATION FROM NORMAL Analysis: The client does not take any supplements. She consumes 5 glasses of water a day, which is not adequate enough and may lead to risks of fluid volume deficit. The patient's weight is constant and does not fluctuate.

The patient eats the most during lunch and least during dinner. The client does not experience any difficulties when eating. *EXPLANATION: BASED ON THE ANALYSIS WHY THE NUTRITIONAL METABOLIC PATTERN OF THE PATIENT IS DEVIATION FROM NORMAL?arrow_forwardB) Discuss the requirements that reduce patient's discomfort while reading glucose level in blood?arrow_forward
