Which pairing correctly matches a system with its organization method?

• A. Modified Unit Dose — Doses are organized by resident name
• B. Time Pass System — Doses dispensed on a bubble/blister card
• C. Unit Dose — Doses organized by time of administration
• D. Sectional Pass System — Doses are organized by resident name

Answer: (D)

Sectional Pass System groups medications by resident name, placing each resident in their own section so all of their due doses are together. This setup makes the medication pass faster and safer, since the nurse can verify the resident’s identity and administer all of that resident’s meds in one pass. The Time Pass System, by contrast, organizes meds on bubble or blister cards for specific administration times, not by resident. Unit Dose centers on individual labeled doses for each patient, not necessarily in resident-based sections, and Modified Unit Dose blends features of unit-dose with ward stock, so its organization isn’t by resident name in sections.
