In which quadrant of the abdomen would the pain of acute appendicitis be felt?
O left lower quadrant
O right lower quadrant
left upper quadrant
right upper quadrant

In cases of acute appendicitis, the pain is typically felt in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. This is because the appendix is located in that area, and inflammation of the appendix causes discomfort that often starts around the belly button and then migrates to the lower right side. It can worsen with movement or pressure on that area.

Interestingly, the classic signs of appendicitis can sometimes trick even experienced medical professionals. For example, referred pain might initially be felt near the belly button before settling into the right lower quadrant. Always a good reminder that pain in the abdomen can sometimes play a sneaky game of “Where’s Waldo!” and doctors need to pay close attention to the entire clinical picture.
