Correct answer: E — Make a dated correction that preserves the original entry and explains the error

Controlled drug register entries must not be erased or obliterated. Corrections should leave the original entry legible and create an audit trail with date, reason and signature or initials according to procedure. The other options either delay appropriate care, use an unsuitable medicine, or miss the main safety issue.
