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?

A. Peak expiratory flow meters should be used daily, not just once per week, to help monitor lung function and detect early signs of worsening asthma. B. Children with asthma do not need to stop playing sports, including basketball. With proper management and medication (e.g., using a bronchodilator before exercise), most children can participate in physical activities. C. Cromolyn sodium is a mast cell stabilizer used as a preventive medication, not to relieve acute symptoms. It is taken regularly to prevent attacks, not at the onset of breathing difficulty. D. A key component of asthma education is identifying and avoiding known triggers, such as allergens, smoke, cold air, or exercise without pre-treatment. Avoiding these triggers can help prevent exacerbations.
