The mother of a child with bronchial asthma tells the nurse that the child wants a pet. Which of the following pets is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pets are discouraged when parents are trying to allergy-proof a home for a child with bronchial asthma, unless the pets are kept outside.
