What does "STAT" signify in medication administration instructions?

  1. ointment

  2. tablet

  3. shortness of breathe

  4. immediately; at once

The correct answer is: immediately; at once

"STAT" in medication administration instructions signifies that the medication needs to be given immediately, at once. This term is often used for medications that require urgent administration to address a critical situation. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not represent the meaning of "STAT." Option C, shortness of breath, is also incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the meaning of "STAT" in medication orders.
