If the dose is expressed as a range, such as 1 - 3, can this be handled with the FHIR MedicationPrescription.dosageInstruction.doseQuantity ?

This is a capability that should be supported. Sometimes Type: Quantity is not sufficient and Type: Range is needed.
\\Examples:
- Morphine 2 to 6 mg IV every 2h PRN for pain
- Oxycodone 5-10mg PO q 4 hrs PRN pain
