Which oral medication can the nurse safely cut in half?

A. This tablet has no score line and could have an extended-release or special coating that should not be altered. Cutting it may affect absorption and safety. B. The triangular shape and lack of score line suggest it is not intended to be split, risking improper dosing or altered release. C. The tablet in option C has a scored line (a groove down the middle), which indicates that it can be safely split. Scored tablets are manufactured to ensure even distribution of the active ingredient, making it safe for dose division. D. This is a capsule, which should never be cut or opened unless specifically directed, as it may contain extended-release beads or irritants.
