neck tenderness and lack of range of motion are
consistent with neck stiffness, which in this scenario is
likely to be caused
by meningeal inflammation. Kernig's and Brudzinski's
signs are also helpful in testing for meningeal irritation on
exam.

is also known as Murphy's sign, which, if present, is further
indicative of inflammation of the
gallbladder.
