Reveal the answer and explanation

Correct answer: A — A patient information leaflet should be supplied with the dispensed medicine

Patients should receive the manufacturer's patient information leaflet when a medicine is supplied, including when packs are split where practicable. The leaflet supports safe use and fulfils legal and professional expectations. The other options either delay appropriate care, use an unsuitable medicine, or miss the main safety issue.
