1. Why do you think Allie has antibiotics prescribed? Can you justify it?
Allie has a chest infection. She is short of breath and is wheezing so the antibiotics will help fight the infection if it is a bacterial infection. Antibiotics will also prevent the chest infection from turning into pneumonia.
2. What care must Allie take when using the brown inhaler? And why? These inhalers can cause a sore throat, oral thrush, or hoarseness.
Inhalers containing steroids are commonly used to manage asthma and treat it. Brown inhalers, for example, are steroid inhalers that reduce asthmatic symptoms as well as prevent asthmatic conditions from occurring. Allie must ensure she washes her mouth out after using the inhaler.
3. How can Allie cut the risk of her pet triggering the Asthma? Allie should always wash her hands after contact with her cat. She should ensure she keeps her house clean by vacuuming pet hair regularly.
