About
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by reversible airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and episodic exacerbations that range from mild to life-threatening. This course provides nurses with a comprehensive and clinically rich understanding of asthma across the lifespan, emphasizing pathophysiology, assessment, diagnostic interpretation, evidence-based interventions, medications, interdisciplinary communication, patient education, legal and ethical considerations, and culturally responsive care. Because asthma affects millions of individuals in the United States and worldwide, nurses must be well-prepared to identify early warning signs, intervene rapidly during acute episodes, support long-term management strategies, and teach patients how to reduce triggers, adhere to medications, and recognize complications. This course is structured to strengthen both bedside practice and exam readiness, aligning with national guidelines including NHLBI, GINA, and evidence-based nursing standards. It is designed for students, new nurses, and practicing clinicians seeking deeper mastery.
