The nurse is caring for a client whose BMI is 35 kg/m². Which condition(s) is/are the client at greatest risk of developing? Select all that apply.

A. Duodenal ulcers: There is no direct link between elevated BMI and duodenal ulcers. Ulcers are more commonly associated with H. pylori infection, NSAID use, or stress-related factors rather than obesity. B. Hyperlipidemia: Obesity is strongly associated with abnormal lipid metabolism, increasing the risk of elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Hyperlipidemia contributes to cardiovascular disease and is a common comorbidity in clients with a BMI ≥30 kg/m². C. Hypertension: Excess body weight increases vascular resistance and cardiac workload, placing obese clients at higher risk for developing hypertension. Elevated blood pressure is a major obesity-related health concern. D. Atherosclerosis: Chronic hyperlipidemia and hypertension associated with obesity accelerate plaque formation in arteries. Clients with a high BMI are at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. E. Stomatitis: There is no established association between obesity and inflammation of the oral mucosa. Stomatitis is usually related to infections, medications, or nutritional deficiencies.
