The Dose Observation template is used to communicate specific dose related instructions including the dose duration, frequency, route, site quantity and form.
Multiple Dose Management
It is not unusual for medications to be prescribed with multiple dose instructions such as variable frequencies and quantities. Examples may include:
1 pill twice a day and two pills at bed time;
1 pill for 2 days then 3 pills for 10 days.
If there are more than one Dose Observation instruction within a prescription then this is indicated by the entryRelationship/@typeCode element.
