QHS stands for which time?

Explanation:
In medication orders, time designations are often written as abbreviations from Latin. Q stands for “every,” and HS comes from hora somni, meaning the hour of sleep or bedtime. So QHS means the dose should be given at bedtime. It isn’t describing drops, nor does it mean every day (that would be QD) or every hour (that would be QH or Q1H).
