'RFA' stands for?

Right forearm
Radiofrequency ablation
Request for action
Rapid fire assistance

The correct answer is: Right forearm

RFA stands for 'Radiofrequency ablation'. It is an advanced medical technology used in the treatment of various medical conditions, including chronic pain and heart rhythm disorders. This process involves using electrical energy to create heat within targeted areas of tissue, which can then help to reduce pain and other symptoms. While the other options may seem like plausible answers, they do not accurately describe the meaning of RFA in the context of medical terminology. 'Right forearm' would refer to the specific location of the procedure, which is not a part of the acronym. 'Request for action' and 'Rapid fire assistance' are not related to medical procedures or terminology. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Radiofrequency ablation'.
