Pediatric Pharmacology: Asthma, 2nd Edition

Course overview

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, yet it is often not well controlled. While patients may know that they have asthma, many do not know how to manage it to prevent exacerbations. Educating and empowering patients and their families to prevent asthma exacerbation is a key role for nurses to promote successful asthma treatment. This course will discuss asthma prevalence, common triggers, signs of asthma exacerbations, and prevention strategies.
