Abbreviation Frustration.... what do they mean??

Brekka, ADN, RN · Apr 29, 2011

Ok, I'm sitting here trying my best to work on a long 20 page paper, and it involves a patient from one of my last clinicals and his medications. I've come across several medication orders that confuse the heck out of me, as I've never seen these abbreviations before. If I were faced with these in the clinical setting I would clarify the orders before doing anything, but for paper purposes I'm to list ALL meds, routes, dosages, etc. I'm hoping someone knows what they mean.

I know I'm only a second semester nursing student, but I still feel like I should know these. These are orders as written directly from the patients' eMAR. Any ideas?

Ok, so here are the orders:

Klonopin - 0.5mg PO ADIAL (After Dialysis ?)
Phoslo - 2001mg PO TIDCC 0800, 1200, 1700 (TID = 3 times a day, TIDCC = 3 times a day with meals?)
Epogen - 5000 units SQ MOWEFR 0900 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday?)
Magnesium Sulfate - 2G IV QDAYP 25ml/hr (not even going to guess...)
Vancocin - 250ml IVPB 250ml/h Q2DHP (Ditto...)
