Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutropenia is a condition characterized by an abnormally low number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps fight off infections. Patients with neutropenia are at a higher risk of bacterial infections and are often advised to follow a neutropenic diet to reduce their risk of consuming harmful bacteria. This diet includes avoiding raw fruits and vegetables because they can harbor bacteria. The option of macaroni and cheese with canned fruit cocktail is the most appropriate because both the macaroni and cheese and the canned fruit are cooked or processed in a way that reduces the risk of bacterial contamination, making it safer for someone with neutropenia.
