What does IM stand for?

  1. Immediate message

  2. Intra muscular

  3. Internet mail

  4. Internal medicine

The correct answer is: Intra muscular

IM stands for Intra muscular, as it refers to administering medication directly into a muscle. Option A, Immediate message, is incorrect because the acronym for immediate message is traditionally "IM" whereas the question is asking for the full form. Option C, Internet mail, is incorrect because the standard abbreviation for Internet Mail is "IM" or "IMail." Option D, Internal Medicine, is incorrect because the acronym for Internal Medicine is "IMed" or "IM" without a space. Therefore, the most accurate answer for what IM stands for is Intra muscular.
