drug dosing

What should I do when doc dictates drug dose that is not in drug book.

ex. metformin 875 mg

When I look this up it only comes in 500, 850, or 1000. This is the first time, usually it's 500 or 1000. Should I just change it to 850 or leave it for QA?

Drug dosing q.4h.
Subject: Drug dosing q.4h.

What is the latest AAMT BOS standard for drug dosing such as "q.4h." I thought I heard that it was changing to "q.4 h. or q. 4h." Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks!

Medication dosing
Subject: Medication dosing

If a doctor dictates "Invanz 1 gram q. 24" would you put q.24h.or would you leave it alone. I know for sure she was scheduled for once a day. Is there an industry standard on this particular happening or is it the personal preference of each facility? Thanks!
