[edit]I came to this page to find out what q2wk means. What does it mean? One day every 2 weeks? One day twice per week? Don8000 (talk) 01:45, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- It means "once every 2 weeks". The "q" part means "each"/"every", and it works with any measure of time. Therefore the following:
- qd = each day = once per day
- q6h = every 6 hours = once every 6 hours
- q12h = every 12 hours = once every 12 hours
- qwk = every week = once per week
- q2wk = every 2 weeks = once every 2 weeks
- But the "q" in "qid" means "4", thus "4 times per day" (quater in die).
