Correct answer: EDo not supply and follow the pharmacy error procedure, preparing a correct product if needed

Incorrect reconstitution changes concentration and can lead to dosing errors. 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.
