if a patient has an order for npo and his or her breakfast tray arrives, what is the most appropriate action?
take the breakfast tray to the patients room.
do not take the breakfast tray to the patients room.
remove the items that are not liquids and then take it to the patients room.

Explanation:

• For the first question:
• In medical abbreviations, "a.c." stands for "before meals", "b.i.d" stands for "twice a day" (from Latin "bis in die"), and "t.i.d" stands for "three times a day" (from Latin "ter in die").
• For the second question:
• "NPO" is a medical order that means "nothing by mouth". If a patient has an NPO order, they should not receive any food or drink. So, the breakfast tray should not be taken to the patient's room.

Answer:

• First question: B. b.i.d
• Second question: Do not take the breakfast tray to the patient's room.
