When a medication is in "tab" form, what does "tab" stand for?

ointment
shortness of breathe
times
tablet

The correct answer is: tablet

When a medication is in "tab" form, "tab" stands for tablet. Tablets are a common form of oral medication that are solid and compressed into a small, round shape that is meant to be ingested by the patient. This term is commonly used in medication administration to refer to this specific form of medication. Options A, B, and C are not the correct meanings of "tab" in the context of medication forms. Ointment refers to a topical cream or gel, shortness of breathe is a symptom related to breathing difficulties, and times refer to frequency or number of occurrences which are not related to the form of medication.
