D.C. is а 24 yeаr оld femаle patient is admitted tо yоur facility after being diagnosed with an asthma exacerbation. She has a history of obesity and GERD. She is allergic to Sulfa drugs and cat dandruff. She has had 2 weeks of progressive dyspnea, wheezing, and cough. She only has a rescue inhaler at home. She was diagnosed with asthma as a child and had been controlled without needing additional treatment until one year ago. Since then, she has been hospitalized for asthma exacerbation three times in the last six months. At one point, she required non-invasive ventilation. She has been lost to follow-up due to financial constraints so she has yet to see a pulmonologist as an adult. She came to the hospital because she couldn't catch her breath and this is the worst it's been since the last admission. During your exam, D.C is on 3 L NC with SpO2 94%. BP 137/68, HR 117, Temp 98.3F, and RR 24. Labs unremarkable. CXR negative for acute cardiopulmonary process. She has a dry cough and continues to have bilateral expiratory wheezing but it has improved since admission. She reports episodic flares approximately 3-4 times a month mostly at night and states that she has "just been dealing with it" and using her rescue inhaler. Following your exam, you complete spirometry testing which shows a FVC (forced vital capacity) of 68% and FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) of 73% predicted. Based on the information provided, answer the following questions.
