Question: 1 / 400

When "qd" is stated on a medication order, how often should the medication be taken?

Everyday

A medication order with "qd" indicates that the medication should be taken once a day. "Qd" stands for "quaque die" which is a Latin term for "every day". The other options do not provide information about the frequency of taking the medication and are therefore incorrect. "Before meals" refers to the timing of when the medication should be taken, not how often. "Both eyes" and "by mouth" refer to the administration of the medication and not the frequency.
