Correct answer: D — Assess against product criteria and refer because the medicine may be unsuitable
P medicines still require suitability assessment and cardiovascular cautions apply. In this scenario, the pharmacist should prioritise safe supply, appropriate counselling and timely referral or clarification where needed. This is the single best answer because the other options would either delay assessment, ignore a clinically significant risk, or create an unsafe legal or professional outcome.
