Answer 1

Examples include 'q.D.' (every day), 'b.i.d.' (twice a day), 't.i.d.' (three times a day), and 'q.h.s.' (each night). However, the abbreviation 'p.r.n.' does not describe the time of day for taking a medication. Instead, 'p.r.n.' stands for 'pro re nata', which is Latin for 'as needed'. q.d. (qd or QD) is once a day; q.d. stands for "quaque die" (which means, in Latin, once a day). b.i.d. (or bid or BID) is two times a day; b.i.d. stands for "bis in die" (in Latin, 2 times a day). t.i.d. (or tid or TID) is three times a day ; t.i.d. stands for "ter in die" (in Latin, 3 times a day).
