Hydroxychloroquine eye screening — GPhC CRA MCQ

Correct answer: D — Retinal-toxicity screening

Hydroxychloroquine can cause retinal toxicity with prolonged exposure. 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.
