A 13-year-old girl with asthma is seeing her health care pro

The camp is located in a wooded area of the mountains in
Pennsylvania. She takes inhaled mometasone (Asmanex) and
has used the levalbuterol only about 4 times each week. Both
when symptoms of asthma occur. In the past 4 weeks, she
salmeterol (Serevent) daily and uses levalbuterol (Xopenex
and salmeterol for the 7 days she is at camp. They are afraid
she and her mother ask whether she can skip the mometasone
she will be made fun of for being "different" or may be restricted
1. What type of drug is mometasone, and how does it help
from activities if the counselors view her as "sick,"
asthma?
2. What type of drug is salmeterol, and how does it help
asthma?
3. What type of drug is levalbuterol, and how does it help
asthma?
4. Is skipping the mometasone and salmeterol a reasonable
request for the week this girl is at camp? Why or why
not?
5. How will you explain the best plan for this girl's asthma
management while she is at camp?

Answer:

Salmeterol is a drug that is used in the treatment of asthma and other pulmonary diseases. It is also used for treating coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, etc. Salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator

Levalbuterol is used to prevent or relieve the wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. Levalbuterol is in the class of medications called beta agonists.

mometasone works by preventing certain cells and inflammation in the lungs and breathing passages from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms. Mometasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids

Step-by-step explanation:

i dont know the other ones but these are what the different types of meds are. i hope this helps :)
