Correct answer: D — Clarify and document the reaction details accurately and advise prescriber assessment of allergy status

Accurate allergy records should include drug, reaction, timing and severity. 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.
