To determine how many doses of drug H will be sent out for the day, we need to analyze the timing of the order and the dosing schedule. The order specifies that drug H should be given at a dosage of 200 mg by mouth every 6 hours (PO Q6H).

The first dose of drug H will be administered when the order is received at 2 PM. From that point, the subsequent doses will be issued according to the 6-hour interval:

1. The first dose is given at 2 PM.

2. The second dose will be at 8 PM (6 hours after the first dose).

3. The third dose occurs at 2 AM the following day (6 hours after the second).

4. The fourth and final dose for the day will be at 8 AM (6 hours after the third dose).

As a result, there are four doses that will be scheduled from the time the order is received until the end of the 24-hour period following the initial administration. Thus, the correct answer is that four doses will be sent out for the day.
