assessment continues with your nursing care of the simulation characters: Jo and her family.

This assignment is in two parts.

Part A

Discuss why it is important for Jo and her family to have a current Asthma Action Plan prior to her discharge

from hospital. In your discussion include the factors which, you as a nurse, should be considering when

developing this Asthma Action Plan. (750 words)

Part B

During her admission to the ward Jo comments that she doesnt like to use her salbutamol inhaler at school as

one of the boys in her class teases her when she does and makes her ‘ feel like she is different. Critically

reflect upon how this bullying behaviour may impact on Jos health status and what education may be needed

for Jo and her family to reduce the impact of Jos asthma on her day-to-day life.
