Which description best matches the concept of dose in intervention planning?

• A. A long individual session once a week
• B. Short daily practice sessions totaling 500 doses over 10 weeks
• C. A one-time evaluation
• D. An online module provided to caregivers

Answer: (B)

Dose in intervention planning refers to the amount of intervention exposure the client receives—the combination of how often practice opportunities occur, how long each session lasts, and the total number of doses over a period. This concept matters because it turns a plan into something measurable you can deliver and adjust, ensuring the client gets enough practice to learn and consolidate new skills. The description that best matches dose describes daily practice sessions accumulating to a large total across a defined timespan, providing both consistent exposure and a trackable quantity (500 doses over 10 weeks). In contrast, a single long weekly session shows frequency but not the overall cumulative dose, a one-time evaluation offers no intervention dose, and an online module for caregivers is a delivery method rather than the actual dose of client intervention. This framing helps set clear targets, monitor adherence, and adapt the plan as needed.
