Which of the following statements by the family of a child with asthma indicates a need for additional teaching:
  1. “We need to identify what things triggers his attacks”
  2. “He is to use bronchodilator inhaler before steroid inhaler”
  3. “We’ll make sure he avoids exercise to prevent asthma attacks”
  4. “he should increase his fluid intake regularly to thin secretions”
Explanation
Answer: C - Asthmatic children don’t have to avoid exercise. They can participate on physical activities as tolerated. Using a bronchodilator before administering steroids is correct because steroids are just anti-inflammatory and they don’t have effects on the dilation of the bronchioles.
