2. Ask the parent to step out of the room in order to ask the child sensitive questions.
3. Do the most invasive element(s) of the assessment first to get the scary parts out of the way.
4. All of the above

1. An ultrasound.
2. A follicle stimulating hormone test.
3. An estrogen level test.
4. A sexual chromosome test.
