Question

which of the following positive signs would indicate appendicitis? blumberg rovsing mcburney grey turner

Explanation:

• Blumberg sign: Indicates peritoneal irritation, which is common in appendicitis as the inflamed appendix can irritate the peritoneum.
• Rovsing sign: Deep palpation in the left lower quadrant causing pain in the right lower quadrant (where the appendix is usually located) is a sign of appendicitis.
• McBurney sign: Tenderness at McBurney's point (a point in the right lower quadrant) is a classic sign of appendicitis.
• Grey - Turner sign: This sign (bruising on the flanks) is associated with retroperitoneal hemorrhage (e.g., in severe acute pancreatitis or other retroperitoneal bleeding conditions), not appendicitis.

Answer:

Blumberg, Rovsing, McBurney
