Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,4,1,3,5

The nurse would start by performing an assessment of the client's general appearance. Neurologic status would be assessed next, followed by the ears and eyes as part of the neurologic sensory system. The nurse would move to the chest, assessing the cardiac and respiratory system, and then on to the abdomen to assess the gastrointestinal system.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The infant's neck should be examined while the infant is lying supine, and his head turned from side to side to determine mobility. The infant's neck is normally short, lengthening by about 3 years of age, making palpation of the trachea difficult.
