Which abbreviation corresponds to the term 'Solution'?

• A. liq.
• B. Solution
• C. Comp
• D. Elixir

Answer: (B)

The concept here is recognizing how dosage forms are labeled and what each term means. A solution is a liquid preparation where a solute is dissolved in a solvent, and on labels or orders you’ll often see the full term used to specify this form.

The best choice is the one that literally matches the requested term. "Solution" directly identifies the dosage form as a solution. The other options point to different things: "liq." is simply a general abbreviation for liquid, not specifically a solution; "Comp" refers to a compound or component rather than the dosage form; and "Elixir" is a specific type of sweetened hydroalcoholic liquid, not the generic term for a solution.
