Which region is the Suprapubic region?

• A. Epigastric
• B. Periumbilical
• C. RLQ
• D. Suprapubic

Answer: (D)

This item tests your knowledge of abdominal surface regions. The suprapubic region is the lower central part of the abdomen, located below the umbilicus and above the pubic symphysis. It’s the area over the pubic region (often associated with the bladder).

In contrast, the epigastric region is the upper central abdomen, the periumbilical region surrounds the navel, and the right lower quadrant (RLQ) is the right lower portion of the abdomen. So the suprapubic region uniquely corresponds to that lower central area.
