'CC' commonly stands for which medical term?

The correct answer is: Chief Complaint

'CC' in medical terms commonly stands for 'chief complaint'. In a medical setting, 'chief complaint' refers to the main reason a patient is seeking medical attention. Option A, 'Critical Condition' is incorrect because it typically refers to a severe state of health requiring immediate medical attention. Option C, 'Cardiac Contractility' is incorrect because it refers to the ability of the heart muscle to contract and pump blood effectively. Option D, 'Central Core' is incorrect as it does not have a specific medical meaning.
