    Ati pn dosage calculation fundamentals proctored assessment 3.1

    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.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A) As a square, white tablet: The medication label indicates that furosemide 20 mg is a white, round tablet, not a square one. Therefore, this option is incorrect based on the label provided. B) As a multicolored capsule: The medication label specifies that furosemide 20 mg is a white, round tablet, not a multicolored capsule. Thus, this option does not match the description on the label. C) With "Furosemide 20 mg" printed on one side of the capsule: The label does not indicate that "Furosemide 20 mg" is printed on the medication. It describes the appearance as a white, round tablet with specific markings, but not with the dosage printed directly on it in this manner. D) With "EP 116" stamped on one side of the tablet: The label indicates that the furosemide 20 mg tablets are white, round tablets with "EP 116" stamped on one side. This option accurately matches the description provided on the medication label.
