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!!!

1. The nurse is caring for a client in labor. The nurse palpates a firm, round form in the uterine fundus, small parts on the woman's R side and a long, smooth, curved section on the L side. Based on these findings, the nurse should anticipate auscultating the fetal heart in which of the following locations? A). L side below the umbilicus B). L by the umbilicus C). R below the umbilicus D). R by the umbilicus The answer Kaplan gives is A. However, I think B is right as the fetus is at breech. Anyone helps me out? Thanks!
