Correct answer: E — Recommend paracetamol rather than ibuprofen
A history of NSAID-sensitive asthma makes ibuprofen inappropriate; paracetamol is a safer OTC option. This makes recommend paracetamol rather than ibuprofen the single best answer in this scenario. The other options would either miss the key safety issue, delay appropriate review, or fail to meet the relevant clinical or professional requirement.
