What is the meaning of 'RUQ'?

right under quadrant

renal urinary quotient

right upper quadrant

The acronym 'RUQ' stands for "right upper quadrant" and refers to the right upper section of the abdomen. This section includes important organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and portions of the small and large intestine.

Option A, 'right under quadrant,' is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the location or meaning of 'RUQ.'

Option B, 'renal urinary quotient,' is incorrect because it uses unrelated medical terminology and does not accurately describe the location of the quadrant.

Option D, 'reach utility quotient,' is unrelated and does not make sense in relation to the context of the question.
