What does the acronym 'qh' stand for?

Every hour
Every half hour
Quarterly
Quickly

The correct answer is: Every hour

The acronym 'qh' stands for "Every hour". This is incorrect because 'qh' is an abbreviation for "quarter hour", not "quarterly", which would be a period of three months. Additionally, it does not stand for "every half hour", as that would be abbreviated as 'ehh'. The abbreviation 'qh' is commonly used in medical settings, referring to a time interval of 15 minutes. So while "every hour" is a time interval, it does not accurately represent the meaning of the acronym 'qh'.
