Exhibits Click to specify whether the client statements following asthma management education indicate understanding or no understanding. Each row must have one option selected.

• "Even with asthma, I can maintain normal activity levels.": Asthma can be effectively managed with proper treatment and trigger avoidance, allowing most clients to maintain normal physical activity and quality of life. • "The inhaled fluticasone that I was prescribed carries just as much risk as an oral steroid.": Inhaled corticosteroids have significantly fewer systemic side effects and lower risk compared to oral corticosteroids, which have more widespread effects. • "I should keep track of my peak expiratory flow to see how well I am managing my asthma.": Monitoring peak expiratory flow helps detect early changes in airway obstruction and guides management decisions, promoting better asthma control. • "I can decrease my risk of asthma attacks if I reduce my exposure to allergens in my home.": Reducing exposure to known allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, or mold, helps prevent asthma exacerbations and improves symptom control. • "I should discontinue using albuterol after I fill my prescription for fluticasone.": Albuterol is a rescue bronchodilator used for acute symptoms, while fluticasone is a controller medication. Both may be needed concurrently. • "If this treatment plan does not work, there are other drugs and combinations of drugs that I can get from my doctor to manage my asthma.": Asthma management includes various medication options and stepwise adjustments, so alternative or combination therapies can be prescribed if needed.
