Correct answer: D — Offer a copper intrauterine device
Offer a copper intrauterine device is the best answer because the vignette is testing Emergency contraception and the recommended approach is consistent with FSRH Emergency Contraception. The other options are less suitable because they either delay time-critical assessment, treat a different presentation, or omit the key safety step. Specifically, Offer empirical antifungal treatment; Book a non-urgent community midwife appointment; Start combined hormonal contraception; Repeat the pregnancy test in one week would be suboptimal in this scenario. In DRCOG-style primary care questions, the safest answer is usually the step that matches the acuity and gestation rather than symptomatic treatment alone.
