The Alimentary system:



Appetite: Has the appetite increased, decreased or remained unchanged? If it has decreased is this caused by a lack of desire to eat, or is it because of apprehension as eating always causes pain?

Diet: what type of food does the patient eat? Are they vegetarian? When do they eat their meals?

Weight: As the patient’s weight changed? By how much? Over how ong a time? Many patients never weight themselves but they usually notice if their clothes have got tighter or looser and friends may have told them of a change in physical appearance .

Teeth and taste: can they chew their food.. do they have their own teeth. Do they got odd tastes and sensations
