Clinical Decision-Making Scenario
A pediatrician sees a 7-year-old child whose parents are concerned about his high energy levels and occasional inattentiveness in school.

Based on the information provided, which potential issue in the diagnostic process does this scenario best exemplify? Explain your reasoning.
