Help with nursing terms...?

Im kinda stumped on this... you see, this is an assignment we were told to do. it's a crossword puzzle, and I can't get this one word...

Oh, by the way, pardon my lack of knowledge for exactly where this thread went; I didn't see a place for questions about nursing and what-not, So i just planted it into general discussion... :p

Okay, it's a 8 letter word. it starts with C and ends with A. The hint for the word is "weakness and emaciation".

Please try to help me! Thankyou for the effort.

EDIT: is it cachexia?

Yep :yeah:

I've wracked my brain and can't come up with anything.

What topic are you studying (from which the word presumably came)?

That was the word I thought of immediately before I read what you thought it was. I'd go with cachexia, definitely.

cachectic!!!

my favorite nursing instructor's favorite word.....she used it every chance she got. to this day, using it or hearing it makes me smile.

Okay... What about this one:

9 letters, 2nd letter is L, 5th letter is I, and the 8th letter is O.

The hint: Foods that nourish.

Thankyou! :D
