J.S. is a 42-year-old man who lives in the Midwest and is highly allergic to dus

J.S. is a 42-year-old man who lives in the Midwest and is highly allergic to dust and pollen and has a history of mild asthma. J.S’s wife drove him to the emergency room when his wheezing was unresponsive to his fluticasone/salmeterol (Advair) inhaler. J.S. was unable to lie down, and began to use accessory muscles to breathe. J.S. is immediately started on 4 L oxygen by nasal cannula and intravenous (IV) D5W at 75 mL/hr. A set of arterial blood gases is sent to the laboratory. J.S. appears anxious and says that he is short of breath.

Investigate the condition of asthma and the manifestations of the disease. Analyze the case study provided and determine what symptoms support the diagnosis of asthma.
Do you have any concerns with the numbers above?
Identify what may be causing J.S. to have an exacerbation of asthma.
Prepare a 3-5 page paper outlining the causes of asthma and the symptoms that the client presents. Use at least one scholarly source to support your findings.
