Please could you help me with another one. Thank you

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale 1: This is a commonly used and accepted abbreviation for temperature, pulse, and respirations (vital signs).
Rationale 2: This is a commonly used and accepted abbreviation for a treatment dressing.
Rationale 3: Mg (micrograms) is not an accepted abbreviation, since it can be confused with mg (milligrams), resulting in a one thousandfold overdose.
Rationale 4: MS is not an accepted abbreviation for morphine sulfate, since it can be confused with magnesium sulfate, resulting in a drug error.
Rationale 5: This is a commonly used and accepted abbreviation for four times a day.
