Question Answered step-by-step The patient pre-PFT resulted in a FEV1/FVC of 60% and the post PFT… The patient pre-PFT resulted in a FEV1/FVC of 60% and the post PFT resulted in a FEV1/FVC of 75%, which is greater than 12% improvement indicating a diagnosis of asthma as per the GOLD guidelines (GINA, 2020).1. Thank you for analyzing Michelle’s PFT values. Applying those details to the case, what makes the change in FEV1/FVC significant? In other words, what does this information tell us about asthma? 2. Nice job reviewing the GINA guidelines. Specifically, what is the recommendation for a rescue inhaler? 3. Are SABAs still recommended or have they gone by the wayside?4. Follow up is key to managing Michelle and making certain she is doing well on her current therapy. There are two recommendations made in the discussion. Please clarify what the follow up recommendation is. Health Science Science Nursing NURSING nr 603 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
