Correct answer: E — Symptom frequency, reliever use and peak expiratory flow

Asthma review should assess symptoms, reliever use, inhaler technique and objective measures where available. In this vignette, "Symptom frequency, reliever use and peak expiratory flow" 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.
