How many times a day does "twice daily" refer to?

Three times
Once
Four times
Two times

The correct answer is: Two times

The term "twice daily" clearly indicates that an action or event occurs two times within a single day. It is often used in medical contexts to specify the frequency of administering medication or treatments. For example, if a medication is prescribed to be taken "twice daily," the patient is expected to take it two separate times throughout the day. This is a straightforward interpretation, which differentiates it from other phrases like "once daily," which would indicate a single occurrence, or "three times daily," which would suggest taking it three times a day. Understanding this terminology is essential for following medical instructions accurately and ensuring the proper care of patients.
