Multiple fentanyl patches on paper MAR

Our organization remains in a hybrid state with some fully activated Cerner sites and some non-CPOE sites with many paper components.
We are revising our fentanyl patch procedure and are curious about the way that multiple patches show on a paper MAR.
One entry (line on the MAR) to sign for the total dose or multiple entries for different strengths? E.g. one MAR entry for 150 mcg/h or one entry for the 50 mcg/h patch and a separate entry for the 100 mcg/h item?
