Question 18 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

A doctor wrote a prescription stating, “8 mg tab qd.” Which describes what the patient is supposed to do?

Answer
A
take 8 grams of medication in a capsule as needed
B
take 8 milligrams of medication in a tablet every day
C
take 8 grams of medication in a tablet every other day
D
take 8 milligrams of medication in a capsule every three hours

Explanation

“mg” means milligrams, “tab” means tablet, and “qd” means once daily or every day. Therefore, the prescription says to take an 8-milligram tablet every day. The choices that say grams or capsule do not match the prescription.
