od health habits.Healthy People 2010,a national health promotion and disease prevention initiative,reports thatnationwide,asthma is responsible for 5,000 deaths and 134 million days of restricted activityyear.66 Normal Breathing pe

repeated asthma attacks and emergency room visits.An important element in thesuccess of asthma management is the communication and collaboration between the student,family,health care provider,and school personnel,including school

nurses,teachers,coaches, Asthma action plans should include: list of peak flow meter readings and zones based on the studentÕs personal bestlist of the studentÕs own symptoms of asthma and what to do when they occurlist of any a

llergiesThe name and dose of long-term medicine and quick-relief medicinemeter measurements and the studentÕs earlyWhen asthma signs are present,the action plan helps everyone toknow what medicine should be taken and what activity

changes should be made.The actionplan is what the health care provider and the student/family have agreed on as the best way toshould be given to everyone who has contact with the student and should be reviewed andupdated at least
