A nurse is caring for a client who has diverticular disease. When palpating the client's abdomen, in which of the following locations should the nurse expect the client to report abdominal pain?

Rationale: A. Pain in this area is more commonly associated with appendicitis, not diverticular disease. B. Lower left quadrant is the typical site of pain in diverticular disease, especially diverticulitis, because the sigmoid colon (most often affected) is located here. C. Upper left quadrant; Pain in this area is more often linked to conditions involving the spleen, stomach, or pancreas. D. Upper right quadrant; Pain here is usually related to gallbladder, liver, or biliary tract disorders.
