Correct answer: D — Explain that every supply requires appropriate clinical and accuracy checks under SOPs

Familiarity with a patient does not remove the need for safe dispensing processes. SOPs, clinical checks and accuracy checks reduce the risk of error. Patients can be involved in safety but do not replace professional checks. The pharmacist should reinforce correct practice and address unsafe shortcuts.
