Correct answer: B — Contact the patient urgently, arrange clinical assessment and follow duty of candour and incident procedures
Warfarin strength errors can cause serious harm and require honest urgent action. 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.
