Correct answer: A — Advise not to stop aspirin without prescriber advice and refer for review of gastroprotection

Stopping secondary-prevention aspirin without review can increase vascular 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.
