R.J. is a 15-year-old boy with a history of asthma diagnosed at age 8. His asthma episodes are triggered by exposure to cats and various plant pollens. He has been using his albuterol inhaler 10 to 12 times per day over the last 3 days and is continuing to wheeze. He normally needs his inhaler only occasionally (2 or 3 times per week). He takes no other medications and has no other known medical conditions. Physical examination reveals moderate respiratory distress with a respiratory rate of 32, oximetry 90%, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) 60% of predicted, and expiratory wheezing. Analyze this case study and answer the next five questions that follow. In addition to reviewing appropriate drug therapy, what other preventive and treatment measures should be included in R.J.’s discharge teaching? (select all that apply) Annual flu vaccine may reduce his risk of complications. Avoid triggers such as plant pollens and cats. Avoid environmental tobacco smoke, aerosols, and odors. He should seek early treatment for an increase in the need for his rescue inhaler.
