Question Image

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Percussion involves tapping the body with the fingertips to set the underlying structures in motion and thus produce a sound. Dullness will be noted over the liver, located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen and beneath the lower ribs on the right side. Tympany is the most common percussion tone heard in the abdomen and is caused by the presence of gas. Resonance is the percussion tone heard between the ribs.
