Step-by-step explanation:

If a patient reports being diagnosed with a strain to the lower right leg, the structure that is likely to be affected by that injury is the muscles, tendons, or ligaments in the lower right leg.

A strain typically refers to an injury to the muscles or tendons, which are responsible for connecting muscles to bones. It can occur due to overstretching or tearing of the muscle fibers or tendons.

The lower right leg contains various muscles, tendons, and ligaments, including the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus), Achilles tendon, peroneal tendons, tibialis anterior tendon, and others. Any of these structures could potentially be affected by a strain in the lower right leg.
