Client education
Start written asthma action plan to effectively manage symptoms if worsen and when to notify physician.
Come back for a wellness check and please do them every year.
Techniques on how to administer albuterol and have return demonstration
If increase in respiratory symptoms, please consult your doctor or if having respiratory distress, please go to the emergency room
Medications take up to 2-4 weeks for effect, hence all the follow up appointments.
Avoid allergens that could trigger asthma such as dust, pets (dander), insects like cockroaches, smoke, and possible food allergies.
Follow-up
a. Please make an appointment for wellness checkup asap
b. Appointment in 2 days to check on progression of symptoms. I would also consider a trial of oral corticosteroids for 3 days if she is still having increased symptoms or if she comes back to the clinic and her FEVI <60%. (Global Initiative for Asthma. [GINA], 2022, p. 130)
Follow up in another 2 weeks to assess for symptom improvement.
