Assessment

Goals

Interventions
Administer prescribed corticosteroids and bronchodilators. Monitor respiratory status and oxygen saturation levels. Educate patient on the importance of avoiding allergens and irritants.
Rationale
These interventions help reduce swelling, maintain airway patency, and educate the patient about managing their condition.
Evaluation
Patient's airway patency and respiratory status will be monitored regularly.
