When the notation "x" appears in medication administration, what does it represent?

  1. ointment

  2. times

  3. tablet

  4. three times a day

The correct answer is: three times a day

When the notation "x" appears in medication administration, it typically represents the frequency at which the medication should be taken. This is usually "three times a day," which is why option D is correct. Option A, ointment, is incorrect because "x" is not used to denote this type of medication. Likewise, option B, times, is incorrect because just the letter "x" alone does not provide enough information on its own to denote the intended meaning. Option C, tablet, is incorrect because while tablets may be taken multiple times per day, the notation "x" is more commonly used to specify the frequency of administration rather than the type of medication.
