Introduction

This week, we will work with a case study of a young girl, Nandini, who has respiratory symptoms. Does she have asthma or another respiratory condition?

In this second week we plan to:

• Explore the presenting symptoms and the process of an asthma diagnosis
• Demonstrate the use of diagnostic tools such as peak flow
• Examine the process of asthma management, including self-management and asthma action plans.
• Conduct an asthma review and consider alternative diagnosis such as rhinitis
