What does the abbreviation "hs" signify in medication administration?

  1. Hour of sleep; bedtime

  2. Microgram

  3. Drop

  4. Milligram

The correct answer is: Hour of sleep; bedtime

The abbreviation "hs" in medication administration signifies "hour of sleep" or "bedtime." It is commonly used on prescription orders or medication labels to indicate that the medication should be taken at night before going to bed. This helps ensure that the medication is administered at the appropriate time to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Option B, microgram, Option C, drop, and Option D, milligram, do not accurately represent the meaning of the abbreviation "hs" in medication administration.
