Select the sentence which is correctly punctuated, spaced, and capitalized.

A) He was prescribed: Carafate 1 g 4 times daily, 40 minutes after each meal, Reglan 5 mg at bedtime, aspirin p.r.n.
B) He was prescribed Carafate 1 g 4 times daily, 40 minutes after each meal; Reglan 5 mg at bedtime; aspirin p.r.n.
C) He was prescribed; Carafate 1 g 4 times daily, 40 minutes after each meal, Reglan 5 mg at bedtime, aspirin p.r.n.

I answered C but think it could also be A also

No colon after a verb, remember?

So then it would be a because B is not right

B is correct. A would be correct if that colon were removed.

Are you saying you submitted your answer and were told that A is correct???

No I was making a study guide type deal, I did not think that the semi colons were needed (Carafate 1 g 4 times daily, 40 minutes after each meal; Reglan 5 mg at bedtime; aspirin p.r.n.)I thought the commas were, to me this makes no sense going from a comma to semi colons?

I know. It's not always an easy concept, and the website I usually refer to for excellent explanations of this is not functioning right now ... it's in Connecticut and is no doubt out of commission because of the superstorm. =(

There should not be any punctuation between the verb and its direct object(s), in this case the list/series of medications. When you have a series, though, in which each element has commas and/or other punctuation, then you use semicolons to separate them. This is why the semicolons in B are correctly used.

OK Thanks that helped.:) I got what you are saying now, just wanted to check and make sure my study guide is right

The sentence that is correctly punctuated, spaced, and capitalized is B) "He was prescribed Carafate 1 g 4 times daily, 40 minutes after each meal; Reglan 5 mg at bedtime; aspirin p.r.n."

Explanation:
To determine the correct answer, it's important to consider the rules of punctuation, spacing, and capitalization.

A) Sentence A is incorrectly punctuated because it uses colons after "prescribed" and "aspirin p.r.n." instead of using appropriate punctuation marks. Additionally, there should be spaces after the colons to separate the medication names and dosages.

B) Sentence B is correctly punctuated because it uses semicolons to separate the medication names and dosages. It also places appropriate spaces after each semicolon. The capitalization is also correct with the first letter of each sentence and the proper nouns being capitalized.

C) Sentence C is incorrectly punctuated because it uses a semicolon after "prescribed" and a comma after "Carafate 1 g 4 times daily." The use of a semicolon is not appropriate in this context, and the missing spaces after the semicolon and comma are incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) "He was prescribed Carafate 1 g 4 times daily, 40 minutes after each meal; Reglan 5 mg at bedtime; aspirin p.r.n."
