Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The order of an abdominal examination differs slightly from that of other assessments. Begin with inspection and follow with auscultation. By using auscultation before palpation, the chance of altering the frequency and character of bowel sounds is lessened.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Grade reflexes as follows: 0: No response; 1+: Sluggish or diminished; 2+: Active or expected response; 3+: More brisk than expected, slightly hyperactive; and 4+: Brisk and hyperactive with intermittent or transient clonus.
