A. in tablet form
B. in liquid form
C. stat
D. asap
c
Rationale: In the ambulatory care setting, most medicines are ordered stat. This is so they are available as quickly as pos-sible because of an emergency or because an emergency situation may be imminent. The other choices are incorrect be-cause 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.
