Practice Question
A client is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of RIO appendicitis. Which abbreviation would describe the location of a client's appendix?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
RLQ
Rationale:
The appendix is located in the right lower quadrant (RLQ) of the abdomen. Appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix, commonly presents with pain in this area, particularly at McBurney's point (a point one-third of the way from the anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus). Other quadrants—LUQ (left upper quadrant) and LLQ (left lower quadrant)—do not correspond with the appendix's anatomical location. "RI-JQ" is not a standard anatomical abbreviation.
