Some questions specify choose 2 and some don't, however most questions require 2 answers even if not specified in the question, which is confusing.
There is one question which mentions what should you do 'after' an intimate examination - the answer that you appeared to want - unless I am mistaken, is leave the room 'before' the examination.
