Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A 6-year-old child has a sense of modesty. The child should undress him or herself, leaving underpants on and using a gown or drape. A school-age child is curious to know how equipment works, and the sequence should progress from the child's head to the toes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The least-distressing steps are performed first, saving the invasive steps of the examination of the eye, ear, nose, and throat until last.
