Choice A rationale
Childhood obesity can indeed lead to diabetes mellitus. Obesity in children increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose)34.
Choice B rationale
While attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children, there’s no direct evidence to suggest that childhood obesity is a potential complication or cause of ADHD3.
Choice C rationale

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, which means that the immune system attacks healthy cells in the body by mistake, causing inflammation (painful swelling) in the affected parts of the body. There is no direct link between childhood obesity and the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
Choice D rationale
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is not typically associated with childhood obesity. On the contrary, obesity in children can increase the risk of high blood pressure.

Choice C rationale
Initiating IV fluid resuscitation may be part of the management for a suspected perforated ulcer, but it is not the first priority. The first priority is to stabilize the patient and prepare for possible surgery.
Choice D rationale
Obtaining a stat abdominal X-ray may help confirm the diagnosis of a perforated ulcer, but it is not the first priority. The first priority is to stabilize the patient and prepare for possible surgery.
