Neuroblastoma

Ewing sarcoma

Osteosarcoma

Wilms' tumor

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A.   Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that arises from immature nerve cells and commonly affects infants and young children. While it can occur in the abdomen, it is not primarily a renal tumor.
B.   Ewing sarcoma is a type of bone cancer that primarily affects children and adolescents. It typically arises in the bones of the pelvis, legs, arms, ribs, or spine. While it can involve the abdominal area if it metastasizes (spreads), it is not primarily an intra-abdominal tumor.
C.   Osteosarcoma commonly arises in the long bones of the arms and legs. While it can spread to other parts of the body, including the abdomen, it is primarily a bone tumor.
D.   Wilms' tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is the most common malignant renal (kidney) tumor of childhood. It typically occurs in children around 2 to 5 years old and is often detected as a firm, non- tender abdominal mass.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are congenital abnormalities that occur during early embryonic development when the neural tube fails to close completely. Spina bifida is one type of neural tube defect where the spinal column doesn't close all the way, resulting in spinal cord and nerve damage. It can lead to various complications, including paralysis, bladder and bowel problems, and learning difficulties. Therefore, it is an appropriate example of a neural tube defect.

B. Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood.

C. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.

D. Hydrocephalus is a condition where there's an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, often due to obstruction or impaired drainage.

A. A child recovering from a ruptured appendix B. A child who has cystic fibrosis C. A child who has rheumatic fever D. A child who has nephrotic syndrome

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A child with nephrotic syndrome is not infectious and therefore, does not pose a significant risk of infection to the child

A child recovering from a ruptured appendix may still carry an infection posing a risk of life threatening infection to the child with leukemia.

Although rheumatic fever occurs several days after the active streptococcal infection starts, a child with rheumatic fever still poses a risk of infection to the child with leukemia.
