Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of abdominopelvic quadrants: The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into four quadrants by two imaginary lines, one vertical and one horizontal, intersecting at the navel. These quadrants are the Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ), Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ), Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ), and Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ).

Identify the location of the liver: The liver is a large organ located in the upper part of the abdomen, primarily on the right side.

Determine which quadrant contains the majority of the liver: Since the liver is mostly on the right side and in the upper part of the abdomen, it is primarily located in the Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ).

Consider the anatomical position: When identifying quadrants, always consider the standard anatomical position, where the body is upright, facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms facing forward.

Review the options provided: Compare the location of the liver with the options given (Right Upper Quadrant, Right Lower Quadrant, Left Upper Quadrant, Left Lower Quadrant) to confirm that the majority of the liver is in the Right Upper Quadrant.
