Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Favorable prognostic criteria for acute lymphoblastic leukemia include CALLA positive, early preB cell, and age 2 to 10 years. Leukocyte count less, not greater, than 50,000/mm3 and female, not male, gender are favorable prognostic criteria.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Even with children who are long-term survivors after treatment for a brain tumor, residual disabilities, such as short stature, cranial nerve palsies, sensory defects, motor abnormalities (especially ataxia), intellectual deficits, dysphagia, dysgraphia, and behavioral problems, may occur. Anorexia is not a residual disability.
