What does the acronym AAT stand for?

activity as tolerated
abdomen
arterial blood gases
as desired

The correct answer is: activity as tolerated

AAT stands for activity as tolerated, which refers to the level of physical activity that an individual is able to perform without experiencing exhaustion or extreme discomfort. B, C, and D are all incorrect as abdomen can be abbreviated as ABU, arterial blood gases is typically abbreviated as ABG, and as desired is abbreviated as PRN. So A is the most logical and suitable option because it correctly defines the meaning of the acronym AAT.
