Which statement describes Unit Dose packaging?

• A. Doses dispensed on a bubble/blister card
• B. Doses organized by resident name
• C. Doses individually wrapped
• D. Doses organized by time of administration

Answer: (C)

Unit Dose packaging means each medication dose is prepared and sealed as an individual unit for one administration. This setup, with each dose individually wrapped, helps ensure accuracy, reduces contamination, and makes it easier to hand the correct dose to the patient. The other options describe how doses are organized or scheduled rather than how they are packaged, so they don’t define unit dose packaging.
