For an acute gout attack, steroids can be administered in all of the following ways EXCEPT?

  1. Orally

  2. Inhalation

  3. Intra-articular

  4. Intravenously

The correct answer is: Inhalation

Steroids can be administered in different ways for the treatment of acute gout attacks. Orally, intra-articularly (injection directly into the joint), and intravenously are common routes of steroid administration for this purpose. However, inhalation is not a typical route for administering steroids in the context of acute gout attacks. Inhalation is commonly used for conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but it is not a recommended route for managing acute gout attacks. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
