The correct response highlights that drug information may not need to be repeated on the unit-dose label if it is already provided on the outer container. This approach adheres to principles of efficiency and clarity in pharmacy practice. When the outer container includes comprehensive drug information, repeating it on the unit-dose packaging could lead to unnecessary redundancy.

This allows pharmacists and healthcare providers to streamline labeling and focus on delivering critical information directly relevant to the individual unit dose, such as the beyond use date, the patient's name, and physical description of the dosage form, which are essential for ensuring the safe administration of medication. The other options reflect information that is directly pertinent to managing patient safety and medication efficacy.
