What does PO, BID mean in terms of medication administration?

  1. Give medication orally once a day.

  2. Give medication twice a day orally.

  3. Give medication twice a day subcutaneously.

  4. Give medication once a day subcutaneously.

The correct answer is: Give medication twice a day orally.

The abbreviation "PO" stands for "per os," which is Latin for "by mouth" or "orally." The abbreviation "BID" means "bis in die," which translates to "twice a day." Therefore, when combined, "PO, BID" indicates that the medication should be administered orally two times a day. Understanding these abbreviations is crucial for ensuring proper medication administration and patient care. The other options do not adequately reflect the meaning of these abbreviations, either in terms of the route of administration or the frequency of dosing. This highlights the importance of being familiar with medical terminology and dosage instructions to provide optimal care to wildlife in rehabilitation.
