    A nurse is providing education to a school-age child who has a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Avoiding triggers that cause an asthma attack is crucial in managing asthma effectively and should be emphasized in education. B. Cromolyn sodium is a preventive medication and should be taken regularly, not just at the first sign of difficulty; immediate relief medications are preferred during an attack. C. The peak expiratory flow meter should be used daily to monitor asthma control, rather than just once a week. D. It is generally not necessary for the child to stop playing sports; many children with asthma can participate in activities like basketball as long as their condition is well-managed.
