Asthma
A practice question in the style of the MCCQE MCQ exam. Choose your answer to see the explanation.
A 29-year-old man with asthma has a peak flow of 60% of his personal best and needs his reliever more often for 2 days after a cold. His written action plan is being reviewed. Which advice best reflects Canadian guidance?
Show the answer
The answer is D: Follow his written action plan and seek review if needed.
A written action plan tells the patient how to step up controller treatment and when to start oral steroids or seek help. Simply doubling ICS briefly is not effective. Stopping controllers and delaying care raise the risk of a severe attack.
