- Brown puffer - cortico-steriod
- Get her a new peak flow metre - helps to monitor her lung baseline and functions and future exacerbation
- Be educated and educate the patient on different colours of puffers (preventers vs relievers) and what the effect of each medications are, when to take the medication, train patient to use it, know when to use it
- Clarify symptoms with patient ]]> 2017-08-28 02:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/yna_lauren/Wk6/wish/183023557 yna_lauren https://padlet.com/yna_lauren/Wk6/wish/183023586 - Quitline and other counselling options for quitting, nicotine patches/gum

-"Normal" pneumonia vs myoplasma pneumonia vs other types of penumonia
- What causes myoplasma pneumonia, is it reversible, types of treatments available
- Mode of transmission of myoplasma pneumonia
- Contact precautions? 
- RESULTS: spirometry results, FEV/FVC what do they mean, are there gender differences. Her ideal is 85.5% and she has risen from 56.7% to 64.3% (#improvement). Peak flow measurements. What does PEF mean and once again  are there gender differences. Does Zoe know how to use peak flow meter (and if explanations are required from the R.N.)?]]> 2017-08-28 02:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/yna_lauren/Wk6/wish/183023681
