What is your platform/programming language?

In "psuedocode", if the current node is 

<Question>
	<QuestionTypeID>10</QuestionTypeID>

you can conditionally process the Question children by checking the XPath 
expression

if (xmlNode.selectSingleNode("Answer/Question") != null)
{
   // recursively call the children
}
