'qd' is an abbreviation for?

quick diagnosis
quantitative dose
every day
quarter dose

The correct answer is: every day

The abbreviation 'qd' most commonly stands for "every day" in medical terminology. While the other options provided may sound reasonable, they are not typically used in this context. "Quick diagnosis" would be more commonly abbreviated as "qd." without the period. "Quantitative dose" would typically be abbreviated as "qd." or "qd" without a period. "Quarter dose" may also be abbreviated as "qd," but only when referring to taking a quarter of a specific dose, not to indicate taking a dose every day. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and appropriate answer.
