On escorting your elderly (new) patient from the waiting room to the treatment bay at your Podiatry clinic, you notice that your patient has a loud wheeze. She also appears to be slightly cyanosed, agitated, tense and can only talk to you in phrases. On resting in the bay area the symptoms do not seem to be subsiding. Key point: Upon checking her notes you discover that she has a past history of sudden severe exacerbations and is currently taking B2 agonists via an inhaler (Salbutamol).

What would be the step by step management as a health medical professional that you would take? for example: walk up to the patient and see ask her a series of questions. if she is unable to answer, look into her medical records, when is it alright to go to her bag to get the inhaler and etc. Also how about following up and after care.

Any psychosocial aspect will be great to be included from a allied health professional or a health professional.
