In the ambulatory care setting, most medicines are ordered:

A) in tablet form
B) in liquid form
C) stat
D) asap


C) stat
In the ambulatory care setting, most medicines are ordered stat. This is so they are available as quickly as possible because of an emergency or because an emergency situation may be imminent. The other choices are incorrect because there is no single clear-cut form of medication (tablet or liquid) that is predominantly used. The final choice— "asap"—is not as critical as a "stat" order.
