If a prescription specifies "qid," how many times a day should the medication be taken?

Everyday
Before meals
Both eyes
4 times a day

The correct answer is: 4 times a day

If a prescription specifies "qid," it means the medication should be taken four times a day. "qid" stands for **quater in die** in Latin, which translates to "**four times a day**" in English. Therefore, option D, "4 times a day," is the correct choice. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the frequency "qid" denotes for medication administration.
