The patient informs you that she often has a headache and has been suffering from migraine since she was a child. She had come to you because she could sometimes stop the onset of a migraine attack with simple painkillers. Unfortunately, she does not have them with her today and asks you if you have any painkillers.

Which answer is correct?

1. You provide the information that you are not allowed to deliver medicines. But you suggest, that you would go with her to a pharmacy close by and buy some painkillers with her. Further advise her to report back to you in an hour and briefly tell whether the pain has become less strong or not.

Correct!

This is a very good procedure. It is probably a migraine which is well-known to the patient.

3. You provide information that you are not allowed to deliver medicines. You remind the work colleague that she could find a pharmacy close by. She should report back to you in an hour and tell you briefly whether the pain was less strong or not.

You can do that. It would be more friendly though, if you accompany the work colleague to the pharmacy.
