Correct answer: EThe owing supply should be managed promptly and documented according to SOP

Owings require accurate records and timely completion to avoid interrupted therapy. In this vignette, "The owing supply should be managed promptly and documented according to SOP" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
