Problem with the processing of my DOM tree

Question

hello,
here a small part of the XML document that i have to process....
<questestinterop>
*<item title="Capital of France" ident="I01" maxattempts="6">
<qticomment>
This Item is the first example to be used in the QTI XML Binding Base Document.
</qticomment>
<itemmetadata/>
**<presentation label="Resp001">
<response_lid ident="LID01">
<material>
<mattext>What is the Capital of France ?</mattext>
</material>
<render_choice shuffle="Yes">
<response_label ident="LID01_A">
<material>
<mattext>London</mattext>
</material>
</response_label>
I can access to the attribute of the "item" tag (marked with * symbol),by creating a node as follow: (item is a childnode of questestinterop, my root tag)
Node root = document.getLastChild();
               Node node = root.getFirstChild();
               while (!node.getNodeName().equals("item")){                    
                    node =node.getNextSibling();
then i process on this node to get the attributes of my "item" tag...
but after i want to access to the "presentation" (marked with ** symbol)tag that is a ChildNode of my previous node by using
node = node.getFirstChild();
(in fact as I do in the parentNode)
but then my node type is TEXT and I dont understand. then i m not able to process it as the previous one. I was expecting it to be a DOCUMENT_NODE!!
I want to be able to go deeper in the tree because I need to extract data from there.     
(I was thinking of going deeper by taking each time i needed it the childnode of my existing node then do a while loop to access to the needed tag.)
Maybe i am taking the problem on a wrong way.
Can someone give me some hints or tips, i m really stuck.          
thank you
