What does 'post-op' refer to?

before surgery
during surgery
after surgery
urgent surgery

The correct answer is: after surgery

Post-op refers to the period of time after a surgery has been completed. Option A is incorrect because 'pre-op' refers to before surgery. Option B is incorrect because 'intra-op' refers to during surgery. Option D is incorrect because 'urgent surgery' is not a time frame or reference, but rather a type of surgery. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
