Answer 1

The correct order for performing the examinations is 2, 1, 3: IVU, UGI, Barium Enema.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order for performing the examinations is c. 2, 1, 3.

The IVU (Intravenous Urogram) should be performed first as it involves injecting a contrast dye into the vein and then taking X-ray images to visualize the urinary tract.

The UGI (Upper Gastrointestinal) examination should be performed second, as it involves swallowing barium sulfate and then taking X-ray images to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.

The Barium Enema should be performed last, as it involves filling the colon with barium sulfate and then taking X-ray images to visualize the large intestine.
