Now select the true statements.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is not a true statement. Having reviewed Brian's medical history questionnaire, the nurse says there is a risk that Brian has malaria (and other infectious diseases). However, this is just a risk based on Brian's answers - there is no medical evidence that Brian actually has malaria.
This is not a true statement. The nurse says to Brian, "I'm afraid you won't be able to give blood today."
This is not a true statement. At the end of the dialogue, the nurse says, "food is only for blood donors: no bleeding, no feeding, that's the rule." "Bleeding" is losing (or extracting) blood from the body. "Feeding" is the act of eating food. Because Brian isn't allowed to give blood, he isn't allowed to have refreshments.
This is the only true statement. The nurse believes there is a risk that Brian has infectious diseases such as HIV, therefore he says, "I'm sending you to get some blood tests". This means Brian will have his blood tested or analyzed.
