Which term is synonymous with 'every' in dosing instructions?

• A. Everyday
• B. Every
• C. Hourly
• D. Weekly

Answer: (B)

In dosing instructions, frequency is shown by linking a time unit to a repeating action with the word that means at regular intervals. The term that is synonymous with “every” in this context is the word itself, since it directly expresses regular repetition regardless of the time unit that follows (for example, every 6 hours, every day). The other options aren’t interchangeable: everyday is an adjective meaning ordinary or daily life, hourly means per hour (a specific unit), and weekly means once per week (a specific time frame). Thus, the exact word “every” best conveys the generic sense of repeating at regular intervals in dosing instructions.
