Passage / Scenario
A child on the oncology unitA nurse is caring for a child on the oncology unit. The child's parents are asking the nurse about the cancer diagnosis. Which of the following information should the nurse provide the parents about the most common malignant renal and intra-abdominal tumor of childhood?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: Wilms' tumor. Wilms' tumor is the most common malignant renal and intra-abdominal tumor of childhood. It typically arises from the kidney and is more prevalent in children. Neuroblastoma (A) is a tumor that arises from neural crest cells, not from the kidney. Ewing sarcoma (B) and Osteosarcoma (C) are both bone tumors and not related to renal or intra-abdominal tumors. Therefore, they are incorrect for this question.
