(Disorders of nutrition)
Which term refers to the lack of nourishment from inadequate amounts of calories, protein, vitamins, or minerals and is caused by improper diet, alterations in digestion or absorption, chronic disease, or a combination of these factors?

This process peaks within 4 to 8 hours, and ____ begins. ___ is the formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate molecules: depletion of stored nutrients (proteins & lipids)
Short-term starvation, or extended fasting
- Glycogenolysis; gluconeogenesis; gluconeogenesis
(Disorders of nutrition)
Which term refers to what follows several days of dietary abstinence, which involves the breakdown of ketone bodies and fatty acids to make energy which will create acidosis; & eventually, proteolysis (protein breakdown) begins, and death ensues if nutrition is not restored?

(Disorders of nutrition)
Which term refers to what can be defined as thepotentially fatal shifts in fluids & electrolytes(hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, & hypokalemia) that may occur in malnourished patients receiving artificial refeeding (whether enterally or parenterally), where these shifts result from hormonal (insulin release) & metabolic changes & may cause serious clinical complications?
