ASTHMA CARE PLAN
Asthma is often undetected and under-treated in low-income high-risk families
Standardized system-level approaches available
Screening and surveillance by public health nurses during family home visits
Evidenced-based asthma care plan through Omaha System
BACKGROUND AND ISSUES
The Omaha System was selected for this asthma care plan because: Used by many health departments in clinical software Enables PHN documentation Can describe evidence based practice Can generate data for evaluation
Problems selected for the asthma care plan: Respiration Sanitation Substance use
OMAHA SYSTEM
RESPIRATION

Adherence to asthma action plan
Provides written guidelines on how to manage asthma including how to take medications properly, identifying allergens and irritants that exacerbate symptoms, and what to do in case of an emergency.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Use of:Peak flow meterNebulizerHolding chamber
Nebulizers, holding chambers, and peak flow meters have been shown to be effective in the treatment of asthma.
(McCormack et al., 2009)
Chest tightnessWheezingCoughShortness of breathNight awakenings from asthma
Monitoring for signs and symptoms of an asthma exacerbation will ensure prompt treatment of asthma attacks.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Nebulizers, holding chambers, and peak flow meters have been shown to be effective in the treatment of asthma.
(McCormack et al., 2009)
Use of:Peak flow meterNebulizerHolding chamber
Annual flu shotHandwashing
Viruses increase airway inflammation and worsen asthma symptoms. The flu shot and handwashing reduce the risk of contracting a respiratory virus.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Individual Triggers:Viral infectionAllergies (grass/pollen)Emotions/stressExercise
Knowing an individuals triggers enables them to avoid such irritants and be prepared to manage asthma symptoms if they worsen in presence of a trigger.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Air Quality IndexPollen Counts
Pollen has been linked to seasonal asthma so symptoms may worsen depending on the time of year. When air quality is low, exercise-induced asthma is worsened.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Pathophysiology of asthma
Asthma is a disease that causes inflammation, swelling, and constriction ofairways. It involves partially reversible airway obstruction, over-active mucus glands, and airway thickening from scarring and inflammation. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Evidence of Disease/Infection: Signs and symptoms of asthma
Coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and SOB, without evidence of infection.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Regular physical activity
Clinical Guidelines support the use of exercise to reduce the impairment for asthma.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Purpose/Benefits: Current asthma management practices including: Inhaler useControllers and relieversSide effects
Clinical guidelines support the use of medication therapy. The risk of uncontrolled asthma is weighed against the limited risks of side effects.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Coordination Among Providers:Primary careAsthma care specialistsAllergistSchool Nurse
Specific clinical guidelines suggest that collaboration between healthcare providers provides better outcomes in the treatment of asthma.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
FinancialHousingTransportationHealth insuranceEducational supportTenants rights
Studies support the use of community based interventions such as schools and public health nurses in asthma education.

SANITATION

Target Care Description Note
TGC Environment Relationship to disease
S Environment Mold and moisture
S Environment Pests such as rodents, cockroaches
S Environment Feathery and/or furry pets (cat, dog, bird, hamster, other)
S Environment Dust, excess clutter
S Environment Consumer products such as cleaning products personal care products, fragranced products, and ozone air cleaners
S Environment Odors, cooking practice
S Environment Supplemental Heating Sources such as wood burning stove, fireplace, unvented kerosene or gas space heater
TGC Durable Medical Equipment
Products to reduce environmental triggers include bed and pillow encasements, HEPA vacuum cleaner, portable HEPA air cleaner, furnace filters, dehumidifiers
TGC Environment Cleaning and vacuuming (frequency and proper technique)
TGC Environment Integrated pest management, health effects of pesticides
TGC Environment Emphasize environmental triggers in bedroom/sleeping area
Relationship to disease
Self-management should be tailored to the needs of the individual taking into account cultural beliefs and practices.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Mold and moisture
21% of current asthma in the U.S. is attributed to dampness or mold in homes.
(Sahakian, Park, Cox-Ganser, 2008)
Pests such as rodents, cockroaches
Studies demonstrate that efforts to maintain pest control help to reduce asthma symptoms. (Sheehan et al., 2010)
Feathery and/or furry petsCatsDogs BirdsHamstersOthers
Exposure to allergens including pets precipitates worsening of asthma. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Dust and excess clutter
Exposure to allergens such as dust and clutter that accumulates dust leads to the worsening of asthma.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Consumer products such as:Cleaning products
Use of cleaning products has been related to new-onset asthma. Personal care productsFragranced productsOzone air cleaners
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
OdorsCooking practices
Sprays and strong odors, particularly perfumes, can irritate the lungs and trigger asthma symptoms. (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Supplemental Heating Sources such as:Wood burning stoveFireplaceUnvented kerosene or gas space heater
These supplemental heating sources increase the levels of NO2 inside homes and increase the prevalence and severity of respiratory symptoms.
(National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2007)
Products to reduce environmental triggers:
Bed and pillow encasementsHEPA vacuum cleanerPortable HEPA air cleanerFurnace filtersDehumidifiers
Scientists have proven using durable equipment reduces environmental triggers for asthma, provides better air quality, improves the overall quality of life for patients, and decreases the amount of asthma exacerbations.
(McCormack et al., 2009)
Cleaning and vacuuming (frequency and proper technique)
Conducting proper vacuuming and cleaning techniques reduces exposure to triggers such as pet dander, dust mites, and pollen.
(Wu and Takaro, 2007)
Integrated Pest ManagementHealth effects of pesticides
Integrated pest management (IPM) reduces the amount of sources of allergens capable of triggering asthma symptoms.
(Kass et al., 2009)
Emphasize environmental triggers in bedroom or sleeping area
Having limited triggers in the sleeping area allows for better sleep patterns and fewer asthma exacerbations.
(Wu and Takaro, 2007)
SUBSTANCE USE

Target Care Description Note
S Substance use cessation Use patternS Environment Environmental tobacco smokeCM Other community resource Telephone
information/reassurance: direct referrals may be make to smoking cessation programs on behalf of clients
Substance use pattern
Knowing the patterns of use when using a substance can aid in success rate of quitting a substance and reducing overall risk of asthma development and asthma exacerbation.
(Heath et al., 2009)
Environmental tobacco smoke
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke increases risk factors for development of asthma as well as causes of asthma exacerbations.
(Gilmour et al., 2007)
Telephone information/reassurance:Direct referrals may be made to smoking cessation programs on behalf of clients
Follow up phone calls can aid in referrals to other substance cessation programs and increases the likelihood of success when attempting to quit a substance.
(Wadland et al., 2007)
