The acronym 'pp' means?

prior to meals
posterior presentation
after meals
prepare patients

The correct answer is: after meals

The acronym 'pp' stands for "post-prandial" which means after meals. While the other options may have similar meanings, they do not accurately reflect the commonly used medical term for 'pp'. 'Prior to meals' could be confused with 'prep' which means preparing for a medical procedure, 'posterior presentation' could refer to the position of a baby during childbirth, and 'prepare patients' is a more general term that may not be used specifically in the context of meals. Therefore, these options are incorrect in the context of the given question.
