Home Management of the Child with Asthma

Asthma is a common chronic disease of childhood. Despite advances in treatment, the morbidity and mortality from childhood asthma continue to increase. Asthma is a frequent cause for school absences and visits to health care providers. The home health care nurse can play a vital role in helping children and parents learn to manage asthma, rather than allowing the asthma to manage them. Assessment and education are the keys to prevention of acute exacerbations of asthma.

Key Words: asthma • chronic illness • obstructive lung disease • pediatrics
