Case scenario:

Maria, a 55 year-old patient, was recently diagnosed with bronchial asthma. Her mother and three brothers also have asthma. In the past year, Maria has had three asthmatic attacks that were treated with prednisone and an albuterol inhaler. At a clinic visit today, prednisone is prescribed for 4 weeks and the order is written as follows:

Day 1: 1 tablet four times a day

Day 2: 1 tablet three times a day

Day 3: 1 tablet two times a day

Day 4: 1 tablet in the morning

Day 5: ½ tablet in the morning

To minimize the frequency of Maria’s asthmatic attacks, the doctor prescribes aminophylline 1200 mg/day in divided doses. The albuterol inhalation is to be taken as needed. Nursing interventions include patient history of asthmatic attacks and physical assessment.
