Assignment: Asthma and Stepwise Management

 

 

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often

provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment,

making it essential tha

t you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life

–

threatening ones. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice

nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate managem

ent

options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for

asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors.

 

 

One method that supports the clinical decision making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is

the

stepwise approach

, which you explor

e in this Assignment.
