Correct answer: E — Discuss the proposed change directly with the patient

A person with capacity should be involved in decisions about their medicines and supply arrangements. 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.
