What does "c/o" stand for in medication terminology?

Complain of
Capsule
Caps
Milligram

The correct answer is: Complain of

"C/o" stands for "complain of" in medication terminology. This abbreviation is used to indicate a symptom or condition that a patient is complaining about or experiencing. It is crucial for healthcare providers, including certified medication aides, to accurately document patient symptoms or complaints using standard abbreviations to ensure effective communication among the healthcare team. Regarding the other options: - "Capsule" is typically abbreviated as "cap" or "caps," not as "c/o." - "Caps" is a common abbreviation for "capsule," not for "c/o." - "Milligram" is usually abbreviated as "mg," not as "c/o."
