Answer to Question 1

B
Sports that do not require sustained exertion, such as gymnastics, baseball, and weight lifting, are well tolerated. Children can usually play any type of sport if their asthma is well controlled. Children with asthma should not be restricted from physical activity. Swimming is recommended as the ideal sport for children with asthma because the air is humidified and exhaling underwater prolongs exhalation and increases end-expiratory pressure.

Answer to Question 2

A
The peak flowmeter is a device used to monitor breathing capacity in the child with asthma; it measures the flow of air in a forced exhalation in liters per minute. A child with asthma would have a pulmonary function test to measure lung volume. A spacer used with a metered dose inhaler prolongs medication transit so medication reaches the airways.
