Correct answer: CAct to protect patients and raise the concern through appropriate channels

Pharmacy professionals must speak up when patient safety may be at risk. 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.
