Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: When conducting a physical examination from head to toe, the nurse would start with the head, move down to the upper extremities, then to the abdomen, and finally the lower extremities.

Rationale 4: The lower extremities would not be assessed before the abdomen.
