Correct answer: B — Decline supply and refer for medical review
Triptans are vasoconstrictors and are unsuitable in significant cardiovascular disease such as previous myocardial infarction. The patient needs assessment for safer migraine management and should not use another person's prescription. The other options either delay appropriate care, use an unsuitable medicine, or miss the main safety issue.
