Correct answer: C — Provide the patient information leaflet with the supply

Patients should receive the relevant information needed for safe medicine use. Split-pack dispensing must still support informed use. In this scenario, the correct option is provide the patient information leaflet with the supply. The other options are plausible but do not address the key clinical, legal or safety issue as directly. This aligns with UK pharmacy practice guidance cited in the reference field.
