Hey,I am finding many variations. I was thinking it was RLQ, RUQ, LUQ, LLQ. Is this correct? Or if it's not, can someone, who knows for a fact what it is, tell me? Thanks.

Is this correct? Or if it's not, can someone, who knows for a fact what it is, tell me? Thanks.When I was in school this is how I was taught. One instructor made us do it in that order. Another said the exact order does not matter, just so every quad gets auscultated. Either way, make sure you listen before you palpate.
