What does the acronym abd stand for?

before meals
right ear
abdomen
as desired

The correct answer is: abdomen

ABD stands for abdomen, which refers to the part of the body between the chest and pelvis. Option A, before meals, is incorrect because that acronym is typically written as "a.c." or "AC." Option B, right ear, is incorrect because the acronym for that is "A.D." Option D, as desired, is also incorrect as the correct acronym for that is "q.d." or "QD." The only option that accurately corresponds to the acronym "ABD" is C, abdomen.
