Cheese, banana slices, rice cakes, and whole milk
Eggs, bacon, rye toast, and lactose-free milk
Egg, cheese, and sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla
The Correct Answer is B

B. Cheese, banana slices, rice cakes, and whole milk are gluten-free and appropriate for a child with celiac disease.
C. Rye toast contains gluten, which is contraindicated for someone with celiac disease.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Rationale:
A. A child recovering from nasopharyngitis could still be contagious, and since children with leukemia have compromised immune systems, they are at higher risk of infections.
B. A child with nephrotic syndrome, although potentially needing special care, does not pose the same infection risk as a child recovering from an infectious disease. Therefore, they are a more suitable roommate for a child with leukemia.
C. A child with gastroenteritis may still be infectious and could expose the child with leukemia to gastrointestinal pathogens.
D. A child with rheumatic fever does not have a contagious illness, but the specific needs of the child with leukemia and the potential for complications from infections make it less ideal compared to a non-infectious condition like nephrotic syndrome.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Rationale:
A. Neurologic function is not typically affected by nephrotic syndrome, so improvement in this area is not an indicator of recovery.
B. Weight gain might indicate fluid retention rather than recovery in nephrotic syndrome.
C. The absence of protein in the urine indicates that the kidneys are functioning properly and that the syndrome is resolving. Proteinuria is a hallmark of nephrotic syndrome, so its resolution is a key sign of recovery.
D. A negative gram stain is more relevant to infections, not nephrotic syndrome.
