You share an apartment with someone who is asthmatic. List and discuss at least four things you can do at home to help prevent asthma attacks
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: (At least four of the following)
• Purchase a good air filter for your home, and clean filters regularly. If a fireplace or wood-burning stove is present in the apartment, check it to ensure it is not spewing smoke or particulate matter.
• Avoid cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoke.
• Wash sofa cushions, pillows, and sheets regularly, and vacuum regularly. Use pillow and mattress protectors.
• If you choose to have a pet but animal dander is a problem, try a non-shedding breed of dog or cat. Keep pets off the bed.
• Keep your home clean and pest free; cockroaches and other vermin may trigger allergic reactions.
• Use anti-mold cleaners or run a dehumidifier to keep moisture levels down and reduce mold growth.
• Make sure that you and your apartment-mate always know the location of asthma medications and that you know how to help if your apartment-mate has an attack.
