Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The interpretation of a peak expiratory flow rate that is yellow (5079 of personal best) signals caution. Asthma is not well controlled. An acute exacerbation may be present. Maintenance therapy may need to be increased. Call the practitioner if the child stays in this zone.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Allergen control includes use of an indoor air purifier with HEPA filter. Humidity should be kept low, bedding laundered in hot water once a week, and carpet replaced with wood floors.
