  Note that all of your title tags were incorrectly constructed. After fixing that, I came up with the following:

  DECLARE @XML XML

  SET @XML = CAST('<DocumentElement>

  <QuestionList>

  <QuestionId>Q1000</QuestionId>

  <Title>Apple</Title>

  <Sequence>3</Sequence>

  <MergeSequence>1</MergeSequence>

  </QuestionList>

  <QuestionList>

  <QuestionId>Q1028</QuestionId>

  <Title>Banana</Title>

  <Sequence>3</Sequence>

  <MergeSequence>2</MergeSequence>

  </QuestionList>

  <QuestionList>

  <QuestionId>Q1029</QuestionId>

  <Title>orange</Title>

  <Sequence>3</Sequence>

  <MergeSequence>3</MergeSequence>

  </QuestionList>

  </DocumentElement>' AS XML)

  SELECT x.xml.value('QuestionId[1]','VARCHAR(5)') As QuestionID

  ,x.xml.value('Title[1]','VARCHAR(10)') AS Title

  ,x.xml.value('Sequence[1]','INT') AS Sequence

  ,x.xml.value('MergeSequence[1]','INT') AS MergeSequence

  FROM @xml.nodes('//DocumentElement/QuestionList') x(xml)

  My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

  My advice:
  INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
  The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
