This is a new diagnosis for him, after months of weight loss,
fever, and diarrhea. Considering this please address the following

assessment finding you are likely to see during your examination of
this patient.
Examples could be, but not limited to, pain, alteration in
nutrition, a specific lab alteration (hypokalemia, low H & H,

How does this finding compare to what you would find in a normal
adult male exam?
Explain the pathophysiology of this finding.
Discuss the specific nursing assessment related to the selected
alteration.

health.
