'C&S' often refers to what in a clinical setting?

  1. Culture and Sensitivity

  2. Care and Support

  3. Clinical and Surgical

  4. Cardiac and Stroke

The correct answer is: Culture and Sensitivity

C&S in a clinical setting stands for Culture and Sensitivity. This refers to the process of culturing and testing samples of bacteria or other microorganisms to determine the appropriate antibiotics to treat an infection. Care and support (B) may be important aspects of a patient's treatment, but they are not what C&S refers to in this context. Similarly, although clinical and surgical (C) procedures may be performed in a clinical setting, they are not what this abbreviation typically stands for. Additionally, cardiac and stroke (D) treatments may also be provided in a clinical setting, but they are not related to the concept of culture and sensitivity.
