Correct answer: C — Advise referral to specialist stop-smoking support
Advise referral to specialist stop-smoking support is the best answer because the vignette is testing Smoking in pregnancy and the recommended approach is consistent with NICE NG209. The other advice would give incomplete safety-netting, miss a contraindication, or use guidance intended for a different clinical setting. Specifically, Take folic acid and vitamin D as recommended; Return urgently if pain, heavy bleeding or collapse occurs; Use condoms until follow-up is complete; Keep a symptom diary before review would be suboptimal in this scenario. Good advice includes both the guideline recommendation and clear safety-netting.
