Correct answer: D — Decline the sale because legal sales restrictions apply to pseudoephedrine and ephedrine
Pseudoephedrine and ephedrine sales are restricted because of misuse in illicit drug manufacture. Pharmacies should not sell combinations exceeding legal quantity limits in a transaction. The other options either delay appropriate care, use an unsuitable medicine, or miss the main safety issue.
