Laurie's daughter was diagnosed with the most common type of cancer in children, which is:

Choice A reason: Lispro (Insulin lispro) does not primarily act to reduce insulin resistance. Instead, it is a rapid-acting insulin analog used to manage blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.

Choice B reason: Lispro does not prevent the formation of glucose. Its main function is to help control blood sugar levels by replacing the insulin that the body is not producing enough of.

Choice C reason: Lispro does not decrease the body's need for glucose in body cells. Instead, it helps facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells by mimicking the action of natural insulin.

Choice D reason: Lispro acts as an insulin replacement. It is a fast-acting insulin analog that helps control blood sugar levels by mimicking the body's natural insulin, which is essential for the metabolism of glucose.

Choice A reason: Edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces of tissues, leading to swelling. While it involves fluid retention, it does not specifically describe fluid accumulation in the peritoneal cavity.

Choice B reason: Third spacing refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in areas where it is not normally found, such as the peritoneal cavity, pleural cavity, or pericardial sac. In the context of the peritoneal cavity, this condition is known as ascites, a type of third spacing.

Choice C reason: Blanching refers to the whitening of the skin when pressure is applied, which is often used as a sign to assess capillary refill time. It does not relate to fluid accumulation.

Choice D reason: Pitting edema refers to a type of edema where pressing on the swollen area leaves an indentation or "pit" that takes time to refill. While it is a type of fluid retention, it does not specifically describe fluid accumulation in the peritoneal cavity.
