A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 20 mg PO to a client. How should the nurse expect the medication to appear? (Refer to the medication label below to answer the question.)

A) With "Furosemide 20 mg" printed on one side of the capsule: Furosemide is typically available in tablet or oral solution form, but not often as a capsule. If it were in capsule form, the label would generally indicate the brand or generic name, but this option does not match the typical appearance of furosemide tablets, which is more commonly seen as a tablet. B) As a square, white tablet: Furosemide tablets are usually round, not square. While they are typically white, the shape described here is not consistent with the usual form of furosemide tablets, which are more commonly round or oval. C) With "EP 116" stamped on one side of the tablet: Furosemide 20 mg tablets, especially generic forms, are often stamped with specific identifiers like "EP 116" to distinguish them from other medications. This is a common practice for pill identification. "EP 116" specifically refers to a 20 mg furosemide tablet, making this the correct appearance for the medication. D) As a multicolored capsule: Furosemide is not typically formulated as a multicolored capsule. The medication usually comes in a white, round, or oval tablet form or as a liquid solution, not as a capsule with multiple colors.
