Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing education to a school-age child who has a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Avoid triggers that cause an attack. This is important in managing asthma as it helps prevent exacerbations. Triggers such as dust, pollen, and pet dander can worsen symptoms. By identifying and avoiding triggers, the child can reduce the likelihood of experiencing an asthma attack.
Option B is incorrect because cromolyn sodium is a preventive medication, not a rescue medication for acute breathing difficulty. Option C is incorrect as using a peak flow meter once per week may not provide sufficient monitoring for asthma control. Option D is incorrect because exercise is beneficial for asthma management, and the child should be encouraged to participate in activities suitable for their condition.
