Correct answer: C — Elicit priorities, quantify treatment workload and agree a coordinated cross-specialty plan
Multimorbidity review begins with what matters to the patient and maps current burden, interactions and likely benefit before agreeing coordinated changes. Disease targets, a lead specialty, pharmacist review and appointment consolidation may inform the plan, but each risks imposing professional priorities if values and workload have not first been elicited.
