Correct answer: C — Take methotrexate weekly as prescribed and attend regular blood monitoring
Methotrexate requires strict weekly dosing and monitoring despite folic acid use. The best answer addresses the key safety, legal or pharmaceutical care issue in the vignette. The other options would either delay appropriate care, create a new risk, or fail to resolve the issue. This is consistent with the cited UK reference for safe pharmacy practice.
