'OR' is an acronym for what?

  1. Outpatient Room

  2. Operating Room

  3. Oral Route

  4. Official Report

The correct answer is: Operating Room

'OR' stands for 'Operating Room'. Option A, Outpatient Room, is incorrect because an Outpatient Room is usually meant for patients who are discharged the same day, while surgeries or operations are usually done in an Operating Room (OR). Option C, Oral Route, is a term used in the medical field to describe the method of administering medication through the mouth. Option D, Official Report, is not a common acronym used in the medical field and is therefore incorrect.
