It's 2019 and I just came across this exact same question. Thanks to medichopeful for creating this thread! The statement that the head is not classified the same as the rest of the body was not covered anywhere in the subject matter
NOT true. Incorrect terminology in the question. Inappropriate would be a better term.
Proximal? Try a different correct but inappropriate, the nose is anterior to the eyes.
I just fond the original question in an old EMT course. The mouth is more proximal than the nose. They just changed the wording to trip people up on the test.
