Which statement describes Unit Dose packaging?

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

Answer: (B)

Unit Dose packaging means each dose is prepared and sealed separately. In this setup, every dose a patient takes comes in its own package, labeled with the drug name, strength, and dose, so a single unit is ready for administration. This design helps prevent errors by ensuring the exact amount goes to the right patient and reduces exposure to other medications. The description that doses are individually wrapped fits this best. A bubble or blister card can be used for unit dosing if each pocket holds one dose, but the key point is one dose per package. The other ideas describe organizing doses by time or by patient name, which relate to workflow rather than how the medication is packaged.
