3,4,5
Rationale: BM (bowel movement), TPR (vital signs), and lab. (laboratory) are all acceptable abbreviations that may be used in a medical facility. The Joint Commission has identified q.d. (every day) and MS (could be interpreted as morphine sulfate, magnesium sulfate, or multiple sclerosis) as unacceptable abbreviations.
