WNL is an abbreviation for?

wait, not listed
within number limits
within normal limits
west-northwest

The correct answer is: within normal limits

WNL stands for "within normal limits". This is typically used in medical settings to describe test results that are considered to be in the normal range or are not concerning. Option A, "wait, not listed," is incorrect because WNL has nothing to do with waiting or being placed on a list. Option B, "within number limits," is incorrect because the acronym specifically refers to normal limits, not just any type of numerical range. Option D, "west-northwest," is incorrect because WNL is not a directional term, it is a medical abbreviation.
