Where is the McBurney's point?

by jy4d8



I always thought the image above shows the right location of McBurney's point. However, in the Lippincott's Q&A review, they said the McBurney's point on a 10-year-old is a little above the umbilicus on the R.

Who is right and where exactly is McBurney's point?

Thanks!!!
