Answer to Question 1

C
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome is an acute disorder characterized by anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Most affected children have a history of gastrointestinal symptoms, including bloody diarrhea. Anemia and thrombocytopenia are not associated with acute gastroenteritis. The symptoms described are not suggestive of acute glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

A
Salt is restricted to prevent fluid overload and hypertension. A low-fat diet is not relevant to chronic renal failure. Potassium intake may be restricted because of the kidney's inability to remove it. Phosphorus is restricted to help prevent bone disease.
