When using a blister pack, where should you press to release the medication?

Directly into your hand
Into a mixing bowl
The cup
The floor

The correct answer is: The cup

The correct answer involves pressing the blister pack directly into the cup to release the medication. This method ensures that the medication is safely contained and ready for consumption. The design of blister packs is such that they can often be opened in a way that directs the medication into a dosing cup or container, making it easier to measure out the correct dosage. Releasing the medication directly into your hand could lead to contamination or loss of the dose, and using a mixing bowl is unnecessary and potentially unhygienic for this purpose. Dropping the medication onto the floor poses a risk of contamination and loss of the dose as well, making it not a practical or safe option. By pressing into the cup, you maintain hygiene and simplify the administration of the medication.
