    A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has mild persistent asthma. Which of the following is an expected finding? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Nighttime symptoms occurring twice a month is more characteristic of intermittent asthma rather than mild persistent asthma, which might present with nighttime symptoms more frequently. B. In mild persistent asthma, the peak expiratory flow (PEF) is typically greater than or equal to 80% of the predicted value, indicating relatively good control of asthma symptoms. C. Continuous symptoms throughout the day are not typical for mild persistent asthma; symptoms usually occur intermittently. D. Minor limitations with normal activity are expected in mild persistent asthma, as the condition can cause some restrictions in daily activities but not severe impairments. E. Daytime symptoms occur more than twice a week. This is a key feature of mild persistent asthma. Intermittent asthma = ≤2 days/week. Daily symptoms would indicate moderate persistent.
