Correct answer: C — Arrange anti-D immunoglobulin after assessment
Arrange anti-D immunoglobulin after assessment is the best answer because the vignette is testing Rhesus D sensitisation prevention and the recommended approach is consistent with NICE NG201; BCSH guidance. The other options are less suitable because they either delay time-critical assessment, treat a different presentation, or omit the key safety step. Specifically, Book a non-urgent community midwife appointment; Repeat the pregnancy test in one week; Start combined hormonal contraception; Arrange routine GP review after the next period 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.
