What does the abbreviation "ung" signify in medication instructions?

three times a day
ointment
immediately; at once
tablet

The correct answer is: ointment

Option A "three times a day" would most commonly be represented by "tid" or "t.i.d." in medication instructions. "Ung" would not make sense in this context. Option C: "immediately" or "at once" would typically be represented by "stat" in medical terminology, making option C incorrect. Option D: A tablet would be most commonly represented by the abbreviation "tab" or "t" in medication instructions, making option D incorrect.
