A one-time dose is not typically considered "prn," which stands for "pro re nata" and means "as needed." PRN medication is usually prescribed for ongoing symptoms, allowing patients to take it multiple times based on their needs. In contrast, a one-time dose implies a single administration without the expectation of repeat use.
