Answer 1

c. single-unit packaging.

Single-unit packaging is when the only quantity of medication that's given to the patient is that that's enough for that intake. In an institutional setting, medication is given at the right time, at meals, or off meals, whenever it is prescribed - the patient does not need to worry with when to take or how many he/she still have. The dose given is to be taken right then and is prepared for only one dose intake.
