Pdf Summary
Continuing Education (CEU) courses on asthma patient care are available online, covering the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and management of the disease. Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways of the lungs, leading to symptoms like wheezing, difficulty breathing, and chest tightness. It can be diagnosed through a patient's history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment involves the use of inhalers to deliver medication directly to the airways, avoidance of triggers, and proper inhaler technique. Nurses play a crucial role in assessing respiratory status and providing patient education. Asthma can have complications that affect quality of life and overall health. Special populations, like older adults, may have unique challenges with asthma. Overall, comprehensive management approaches and support from healthcare providers can help individuals better manage asthma and improve their quality of life.
