SOLUTION  

Asthma Treatment Algorithm:

To successfully treat asthma, you must first classify it and then be familiar with step therapy. For this assignment and in this course, we will focus on patients 12 years and older. Complete the blanks in the following table to create an algorithm for asthma care using your textbook as well as GINA guidelines .

 

Step Asthma Classificatio n Asthma symptoms and frequency as noted in textbook Controller and Preferred Reliever:

(Drug Class and frequency if provided from GINA guidelines)

 Controller and Alternative Reliever:

(Drug Class and frequency if provided from GINA guidelines)
 

Step 1

  

Intermittent

 Daytime

symptoms

 2 days a week or less  

 

Drug class: Low dose ICS- formoterol

Frequency: As needed

 Drug class: SABA Frequency: to use when ICS is already taken
Nighttime awakenings 2 times a month or less
 

 

Step 2

  

 

Mild Persistent

 Daytime symptoms Can be more than 2 day a week but less than daily
