Exhibits The nurse begins client education and asks the client what potential asthma triggers may have been involved in her recent exacerbation. For each statement click to specify if the client has an understanding or no understanding of asthma triggers. Each row must have one option selected.

Correct choices are; A.I should have taken an extra dose of fluticasone-salmeterol - No Understanding Explanation: Fluticasone/salmeterol is a long-acting inhaler used for maintenance therapy in asthma. It is not meant to be used as a rescue medication for acute symptoms or exacerbations. Therefore, taking an extra dose in response to symptoms would not be appropriate. B. I should have taken some allergy medications before going on the hike - Understanding Explanation: Allergy medications, such as antihistamines or nasal sprays, can help reduce allergic triggers that can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Taking these medications before exposure to known triggers (like allergens during a hike) can help prevent an asthma exacerbation. C. I have been very stressed out lately and should work on stress management - Understanding Explanation: Stress is a known trigger for asthma exacerbations. Managing stress through techniques such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness, or therapy can help reduce the likelihood of triggering asthma symptoms. D. I should have eaten a snack halfway through the hike - No Understanding Explanation: While maintaining good nutrition and hydration is important for overall health, eating a snack would not necessarily prevent an asthma exacerbation unless the snack contained medications or substances that specifically manage asthma symptoms. E. My friend smoked cigarettes during the hike - Understanding Explanation: Secondhand smoke is a common trigger for asthma exacerbations. Being exposed to cigarette smoke can irritate the airways and worsen asthma symptoms.
