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.
