How should medication be transferred from a bubble pack to a cup?

Transferring medication from a bubble pack to a cup should be done by placing the bubble pack upside down over the cup and pushing down. This method ensures that the medication is released properly from the compartments of the bubble pack without causing spillage or contamination. By using this technique, you minimize the risk of damaging the medication and ensure an accurate dose is transferred to the cup.

This approach offers control over how much medication is dispensed and helps prevent potential contact with other surfaces, maintaining hygiene and safety. Additionally, it aligns with best practices for medication administration, ensuring that healthcare providers handle medications responsibly.

In contrast, pouring directly from the bubble pack may lead to spillage or inaccurate dosing, while using a spoon may not provide the precise measurement needed for effective medication administration. Shaking the bubble pack can harm the medication or lead to inaccurate dosing, making it an unsuitable method.
