    A nurse collecting data from a client who has manifestations of appendicitis. Where should the nurse palpate to monitor for pain at McBurney's point? (You will find hot spots to select in the artwork below. Select only the hot spot that corresponds to your answer.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    McBurney's point is a spot on the right side of the abdomen, located about two-thirds of the way from the umbilicus (belly button) to the right anterior superior iliac spine (a bony protrusion of the hip). Tenderness at this point is a classic sign of acute appendicitis
