Correct answer: B — Give urgent fire-safety advice and refer to smoking cessation support

Smoking near oxygen creates serious fire and burn risk; nicotine replacement can support cessation. 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.
