a- avascular necrosis of the femoral head
b- cholecystitis
c- hip bursitis

Answer 1

A positive obturator test is indicative of hip bursitis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive obturator test is indicative of hip bursitis. The obturator test is performed by raising the client's leg with the knee flexed and internally rotating the leg. This test helps to diagnose hip bursitis, which is the inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction and cushion the joint.
