History and Physical
A 34-year-old male client presents to the emergency department (ED) for an acute asthma attack which began after jogging through a local park. The client is able to answer questions, pausing every few words to catch his breath. The client reports using a rescue inhaler three times, but he just couldn't catch his breath. The client reports that symptoms seem worse when outdoors and when exercising and that episodes like this make him extremely nervous. The client reports that it has been a couple of months since he had an asthma attack, and he came to the ED today because he noticed that his inhaler was expired and was worried the medication was not working.
The nurse reviews the client's history of the presenting illness in the electronic medical record.
