Correct answer: D — Make a controlled drug register entry for the supply with required details

Schedule 2 controlled drug supplies require controlled drug register entries in addition to PMR records. 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.
