SAFETY NETTING / MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR MILD ASTHMA

Question 1

ARE WE GOING TO REFER OR TAKE TO HOSPITAL?

Answer 1

REFER

Question 2

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO REFER TO? WHAT WILL BE ASKED AND WHY?

Answer 2

PATIENTS OWN GP

EXPLAIN WHAT HAS HAPPENED, ASK THEM TO REVIEW THE PATIENT TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTNIG MORE THAT CAN BE DONE.
REQUEST A REVIEW OF MEDICATION - ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE USED THERE OWN THEY WILL NEED MORE.

THIS IS BEING DONE TO ENSURE THE PATIENT IS NOT JUST LEFT AT HOME WITH NO SUPPORT/ PLAN GOING FORWARD. BUT TO ENSURE THAT IF THE PATIENT WAS TO HAVE ANOTHER ATTACK THEN THE PATIENT HAS MEDICATION TO HAND.
