Correct answer: D — A record of the emergency supply must be made

Emergency supplies require legal records including patient, medicine and reason details. In this vignette, "A record of the emergency supply must be made" 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.
