Correct answer: B — Check suitability and stability before inclusion

Some medicines are unsuitable for monitored dosage systems because of stability or formulation concerns. In this vignette, "Check suitability and stability before inclusion" 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.
