Which statement best describes Modified Unit Dose?

• 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: (A)

Modified Unit Dose centers on presenting meds in blister or bubble card packaging. Each card holds multiple doses for a patient, typically arranged for a day or shift, with pills in separate compartments. This format makes it quick to see what’s due, what’s been given, and helps prevent mix-ups at the bedside. While organizing doses by time of administration or by patient name can occur in practice, the defining feature here is the blister card packaging that standardizes and streamlines dispensing and administration.
