Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. 0930 in military time is 9:30 a.m., not p.m.
B. 930 p.m. is not military time format; military time uses a 24-hour clock without a.m./p.m. designations.
C. 2130 in military time represents 9:30 p.m. (21:30 hours).
D. 1930 represents 7:30 p.m., not 9:30 p.m.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While some enteric-coated capsules should not be opened, this Answer is too limited and not as universally applicable as option B.
B. Enteric-coated drugs should not be chewed or crushed because the coating is designed to protect the drug from stomach acid and to ensure it is absorbed in the intestines. Chewing or crushing it would destroy this protective barrier.
C. Not all enteric-coated medications are available in liquid form, so this is not a reliable or general instruction for clients.
D. Cutting enteric-coated drugs into smaller pieces would compromise the coating, just like crushing or chewing, and should be avoided.
