Correct answer: BDiscuss oral emergency contraception options

Discuss oral emergency contraception options is the best answer because the vignette is testing Condom failure and the recommended approach is consistent with FSRH Emergency Contraception. The other advice would give incomplete safety-netting, miss a contraindication, or use guidance intended for a different clinical setting. Specifically, Use venous thromboembolism precautions when travelling; Attend maternity triage if fetal movements reduce; Use condoms until follow-up is complete; Seek same-day care if fever or systemic symptoms develop would be suboptimal in this scenario. Good advice includes both the guideline recommendation and clear safety-netting.
