Correct answer: B — Provide the patient information leaflet or suitable approved information

Patients should receive appropriate information to support safe medicine use, including a patient information leaflet where available. Split-pack dispensing should preserve necessary information and traceability. Writing a leaflet from memory is not appropriate. Removing traceability details would undermine safety and recall processes.
