border of the liver and diaphragm are not visualized. What should you do? - correct
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
answer✔✔Rescan the liver with a lower frequency transducer |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
*Lower frequency transducers provide greater penetration than higher frequency transducers.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\
