The nurse is reviewing appropriate nutritional options for a child who is receiving chemotherapy and has been prescribed a neutropenic diet. The nurse would recommend which of the following options

The correct answer is B: Vanilla milkshake made with pasteurized milk. This option is suitable for a child on a neutropenic diet as it is made with pasteurized milk, which reduces the risk of bacterial contamination. Pasteurization kills harmful bacteria that could be dangerous for a child with a weakened immune system due to chemotherapy. The other options are not recommended for a neutropenic diet. A: Bagel with cream cheese and lox may contain raw fish, which poses a risk of bacterial infection. C: Ham and cheese sandwich may have deli meats that are not recommended for those with weakened immune systems. D: Sushi also carries a risk of bacterial contamination, especially raw fish. In summary, option B is the safest choice as it minimizes the risk of infection for the child undergoing chemotherapy and following a neutropenic diet.
