Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Overweight and obese children are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Overweight children are not particularly prone to developing glaucoma, migraine headache, or scoliosis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The patient is suffering from psychosis, which is a severe mental disorder characterized by disordered thought processes. Delusions are false beliefs that persist in the absence of reason or evidence and are also a symptom of a psychosis. Depression is a disorder and symptom that is not as severe as a psychotic disorder. Confusion is a more generic term that denotes a lack of clear thinking.
