Correct answer: C — Refer for prescriber assessment of a suitable option such as adjusted colchicine or corticosteroid
NSAIDs are often unsuitable in significant renal impairment and heart failure. Acute gout treatment needs selection based on comorbidities and renal function, with dose adjustment where required. The other options either delay appropriate care, use an unsuitable medicine, or miss the main safety issue.
