Correct answer: A — Assess for localised impetigo and topical treatment suitability

This scenario assesses Impetigo localised child in a UK pharmacy practice context. Localised impetigo may be managed with topical antiseptic or antibiotic treatment according to guidance and assessment. The best answer is Assess for localised impetigo and topical treatment suitability because it addresses the principal clinical, legal or safety issue before routine supply. The other options are less appropriate because they either miss the key risk, delay necessary review, or would not meet expected BNF, NICE, MEP, MHRA or GPhC practice standards.
