    The correct answer would be, Child is Obese.

    Explanation:

    The child is 7 years old with a height of 3 feet and 7 inches with a weight of 55 Lbs or 25 kilograms. His Body Mass Index is 20.9. He fainted on the playground while playing in his school. He was sent to the school Clinic. So the most important assessment which needs to be addressed to the RN is that the boy is obese. His Body Mass Index falls in the 98th percentile for his age and height, and any percentile above 95th, for children will count in the category of obesity. This finding should be told to the RM for further assessment.
