A child with leukemia is receiving intrathecal chemotherapy.
Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: D

Intrathecal chemotherapy is administered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid within the spinal canal, targeting CNS diseases like leukemia or lymphoma in the brain and spinal cord. This route allows for higher drug concentrations in the CNS while minimizing systemic side effects.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as intrathecal chemotherapy does not specifically prevent infection, drug side effects, or brain tumors.
