Question: 1 / 400

What does the acronym ABGs stand for?

arterial blood gases

ABGs stands for arterial blood gases, which refers to the measurement of various gases in the bloodstream. This is important in diagnosing and monitoring respiratory and metabolic disorders. It should be noted that while options B, C, and D may also be abbreviations in the medical field, they are not related to the measurement of blood gases and are therefore incorrect. Option B refers to the level of activity a patient can perform without worsening their condition, option C is a type of bacteria used in tuberculosis testing, and option D is a syndrome caused by the human immunodeficiency virus.
