Correct answer: E — An authorised registered health professional named or included in the PGD can supply or administer within its terms

PGDs permit specified registered professionals to supply or administer within defined criteria. 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.
