What does the acronym 'N/S' stand for?

Not Specified
Normal Saline
Non-Standard
Nitrous Oxide

The correct answer is: Normal Saline

N/S stands for Normal Saline, which is a sterile solution of water and salt that is used to clean and to rinse wounds and skin or to dilute certain medications. The other options are incorrect because A) Not Specified may mean unlisted or undefined, but it is not commonly used as an acronym for medical purposes. C) Non-Standard also doesn't have a commonly known medical meaning and is not a commonly used acronym. D) Nitrous Oxide is commonly abbreviated as N2O, so N/S is not an accurate acronym for it.
