Which term describes not crushing enteric-coated tablets and extended-release forms?

  1. Digestible medications

  2. Coatable medications

  3. Liquid medications

  4. Medications that cannot be crushed

The correct answer is: Medications that cannot be crushed

Extended-release forms and enteric-coated tablets should not be crushed as it defeats the purpose of their design. These medications are designed to break down slowly in the body and crushing them would result in them being absorbed too quickly, which can lead to harmful side effects. Therefore, option D is the correct term to describe this precaution with these medications.
