Correct answer: E — Paracetamol with non-pharmacological measures and clinical review
NSAIDs are often unsuitable in CKD; safer analgesic strategies should be considered. In this vignette, "Paracetamol with non-pharmacological measures and clinical review" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
