Correct answer: B — Quarantine the stock and check stability advice before supplying
Cold-chain breaches can affect medicine quality and stock should not be supplied until assessed. 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.
