The "Murphy Sign" is used to help diagnose
- Appendicitis
- Peptic ulcer
- Cholecystitis
- Kidney stones - ANS-Cholecystitis
If a patient complains of abdominal pain in a particular area, when should you palpate
that area in relation to the non-painful areas?
- first
- last
- palpate 2 areas at the same time and ask which hurts more
- it doesn't matter - ANS-last
Match the abdominal disease with the classic clinical presentation
1. Episodic severe right upper quadrant pain with vomiting
2. Periumbilical pain, migrating to right lower quadrant. Guarding and rebound
tenderness.
3. Burning/gnawing epigastric pain
4. Intense flank pain radiating to groin - ANS-1. Biliary stones, colic
