Question

Percussing at the right midclavicular line, below the umbilicus, and continuing upward is the correct technique for locating the:

upper right kidney ridge.
descending aorta.
lower liver border.
medial border of the spleen.

Answer 1

Lower liver border.

Step-by-step explanation:

The liver is in the upper right side of the abdomen, above it is the diaphragm, beneath is the right kidney, the stomach, and the intestine. If we position our hands on the right clavicular line and bellow the umbilicus, as we move them, we will be able to locate the liber when we arrive at the upper right side of the abdomen and feel if there is any problem.
