Angel received a prescription for docusate sodium which read 2T PO QOD. Angel made a label for the bottle that read, “Take two tablets by mouth every day.” What mistake did she make?

QOD stands for four times daily.
PO stands for under the tongue.
QOD means every other day.
Nothing, she translated the sig code perfectly.

Explanation

Answer: C - The sig code abbreviation QOD stands for every other day. It is easy to confuse QOD-every other day, QID-four times daily, and QD-every day/daily. A tech must read prescriptions very carefully.
