Because "q.d." actually means "every other day." Tatiana unknowingly changed Mr. Gousseff's prescription.
Tatiana heard from a coworker that it would be faster for her to write "q.d." in her notes, rather than "daily," so she did that for Mr. Gousseff's latest chart notes. That day, Mr. Gousseff didn't receive his medicine as usual. When he asked, he was told that his dose was changed to every other day. How could Tatiana's note have resulted in an incorrect change in Mr. Gousseff's treatment when she meant that he should continue to be given his medicine daily?

Because "q.d" actually means "every other day." Tatiana unknowingly changed Mr. Gousseff's prescription.
Because "q.d." is an abbreviation made up by Tatiana's coworker, the nurse treating Mr. Gousseff didn't understand what "q.d." meant after Tatiana wrote it in the notes
Because Mr. Gousseff's prescription actually did change, Tatiana's use of "q.d." didn't make a difference in his chart.
Because the period after the "q" might have been mistaken for "i" or "," making it look like Mr. Gousseff should receive his medicine every other day rather than every day.
