The correct answer is: Must be dispensed in a new vial with specific labeling

When dispensing medication as an 'Emergency supply' during a state of emergency, it is important to ensure proper labeling and packaging of the medication to ensure its safety and effectiveness. This is why option B is the correct choice, as it specifies using a new vial and specific labeling. Option A is incorrect because using any available container may not be suitable or safe for dispensing medication. Option C is incorrect because all medications must be properly recorded and tracked, even in an emergency situation. Option D is also incorrect because the dispensing of medication should be reported to the prescriber for documentation purposes.
