The abbreviation for the word 'With' is what?

• A. c/w
• B. cc
• C. c/o
• D. c

Answer: (D)

In medical shorthand, many abbreviations come from Latin. The word “with” is represented by cum, and its common abbreviation is a single letter, c. That’s why the option that is just the letter c is the best match for “with.” The other forms refer to different phrases: cc is usually cubic centimeters (or sometimes chief complaint in context), c/o means complains of, and c/w is typically used for consistent with. So the single-letter c is the correct way to denote “with.”
