Choice A rationale:

"I will take the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as needed for pain" is a reasonable statement, as NSAIDs are often prescribed for pain relief during gout attacks.

However, it's important to note that NSAIDs should be taken as directed by the healthcare provider, and their use should be monitored due to potential side effects.

Choice B rationale:

"I'll make sure to use colchicine during acute attacks to reduce inflammation" is the correct choice.

Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory medication commonly used to treat gout during acute attacks.

Choice C rationale:

"I should avoid corticosteroids unless my doctor says they are necessary" is a reasonable statement.

Corticosteroids are typically reserved for cases of gout where other treatments are ineffective, and their use should be under medical supervision.

Choice D rationale:

"I will take allopurinol regularly to lower my uric acid levels" is a correct statement.

Allopurinol is a medication used to lower uric acid levels in individuals with gout, helping to prevent future attacks.

It is a part of long-term gout management.
