Question 1 of 5
For a client with suspected appendicitis, in which quadrant should the nurse expect to find abdominal tenderness?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: lower right. Abdominal tenderness in the lower-right quadrant is a classic sign of appendicitis. The appendix is located in the lower right abdomen, so inflammation of the appendix typically causes tenderness in this specific area.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because tenderness in the upper right, upper left, and lower left quadrants, respectively, is not typical in appendicitis cases.
Therefore, the nurse should focus on assessing the lower right quadrant for tenderness when suspecting appendicitis.
