Correct answer: E — Store morphine in the controlled drug cabinet; temazepam has different safe custody requirements depending on exemption status
Safe custody requirements vary by schedule and specific exemptions. 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.
