Note
A plural that follows the countable side of its singular. Most plural uses count governing bodies: executives, councils, or the government of a particular leader, as in successive administrations. Management and the general act of administering normally resist the plural. The exception is dispensing: separate doses can be counted, so a clinical record can list drug administrations given at set intervals.
