Prompt
Well-child clinic: parents of a freckled school-age child ask about sunscreen brands, beach holidays and whether a tanning bed before a formal is 'safer than burning outside'.

Opening (2 minutes)

Examiner: "What is your overall approach to sun protection for this child?" [1]

Strong answer: Enable outdoor life with layered protection — shade, timing, clothing/hat, sunglasses, then broad-spectrum sunscreen with enough product and reapplication. Do not rely on brand name alone. [1] [4]
