Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
The right lower quadrant includes the lower pole of the right kidney, cecum and appendix, portion of the ascending colon, bladder (if distended), ovary and salpinx, uterus (if enlarged), right spermatic cord, and right ureter. The sigmoid colon and portion of the descending colon are found in the left lower quadrant.

Answer to Question 2

D
Urinary sodium less than 10 mEq/L (low) suggests a prerenal condition. Urinary sodium greater than 40 mEq/L (in the presence of an elevated serum creatinine and the absence of a high salt load) suggests intrarenal damage has occurred. The urine output does not seem to suggest oliguria. The other options do not fit the data as presented.
