Offer a private space and ask if the patient would like to speak with the pharmacist.

Rationale: the behavior suggests a sensitive issue. Offering privacy and a pharmacist consult is respectful, non‑judgmental, preserves confidentiality, and lets a clinically trained staff member assess and address the concern. Avoid making assumptions, direct confrontations, or recommending treatment beyond your role.
