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. As a square, white tablet: The label describes the medication as a round white tablet, not square. Square tablets are uncommon and could indicate a different formulation or drug altogether. B. As a multicolored capsule: The medication is not in capsule form; the label clearly identifies it as a tablet. Capsules usually come in multiple colors and contain powder or liquid, not solid tablet form. C. With “Furosemide 20 mg” printed on one side of the capsule: There is no mention of such printing in the label description, especially not on the side. Additionally, this refers to a capsule, but the medication is dispensed as a tablet, not a capsule. D. With “EP 116” stamped on one side of the tablet: This matches the label exactly, which states, “WHITE ROUND TABLET W/EP 116 ON ONE SIDE.” This is the correct physical identifier for furosemide 20 mg tablets.
