  1. 8 the first day + 2 the 2nd day + 2 the 3rd day + 1 each day for 11 more days

    = 23 pills in total


  2. q.i.d.=4 times per day

    b.i.d.=2 times per day

    2 tablets X 4 times per day = 8 tablets the first day

    1 tablet X 2 times per day = 2 tablets the second day

    and 2 tablets the third day

    8 + 2 + 2 = 12 tablets total

  3. should be lets see 2 the first then 1 every day after for 13 days so it should be 15

  4. q.i.d. means take 4 times per day.

    b.i.d. means take 2 times per day.

    Day one: 4 x 2 = 8 tablets

    Day two: 2 x 1 = 2 tablets

    Day three: 2 x 1 = 2 tablets

    Total tablets dispensed = 12 tablets

  5. qid=4 times a day therefore day 1 will get 8 tabs (2*4)

    bid=2 times a day therefore day 2/3= 4 tabs

    qd=once daily for 2 wks =14

    Total dispensed tabs = 26tabs

  6. 8 for day one

    4 for days 2 and 3

    11 for remainder of 2 weeks

    Total of 23

  7. 23 tablets, as the others have noted.

    Day 1 = 8 tabs

    Days 2 &3 = 2 tabs each day, 4 total

    Days 4 - 14 = 11 tabs total

  8. q.i.d. means take 4 times per day.

    b.i.d. means take 2 times per day.

    q.d. means take 1 per day

    Day one: 4 x 2 tabl =  8 tablets                                          

    Day two: 2 x 1 tabl =   2 tablets

    Day three: 2 x 1 tabl= 2 tablets

    Remained 11 days: 1 tabl per day =11 tablets

    8+2+2+11= 23

    Answer: It must be dispended 23 tablets for two week in total.

  9. 6, two each day.

  10. 8+2+2  =  12
