1PICOTProposed problem:Asthma mainly affects individuals by swelling of airways that are resulting in narrowing of the airways which carry air form the nose and mouth to that of the lungs. Allergens or similar compounds when enter the lungs may trigger sigma symptoms which involve troubled breathing,coughing, wheezing as well as tightness of chest (Reznik et al., 2015). As there is no permanent cure for asthma, one should try to live a disciplined lifestyle. They should be managed with proper intervention and treatment. It is indeed very concerning to see the fact that when prevalence rate of asthma is 7.6 in adults, it is higher in children for about 8.4 percent (Coelho et al., 2017). It has become the leading chronic disease in children resulting in missing schools and poor quality lives.Proposed solution:The present healthcare system is mainly trying to implement interventions which can cut out the chances of increased admission of the children in the hospital. This is mainly because hospital admission results in flow of resources from the parents and increases anxiety and tensions among parents (Coelho et al., 2017).

This can be done by the help of the school nurses or can be done by nursing experts’ visiting the schools twice or thrice a week for a 60 minute session and make them participate in drills (Blaakman et al., 2014). Moreover, parents as well as children should also be influenced for improvement of self management behaviors and practice by helping them to correctly handle emergency situations by proper immediate actions.1.bThe intervention would be apt for the establishment in schools as it does not require huge amount of finance. This is because no extra cost is associated with fixing of rooms for education and counseling of the children. It can be conducted in own classrooms. Moreover, no extra cost is associated as the hospital nursing staffs can visit the premises and provide lectures as per requirement. However, only one important factor that should be incorporated is the proper training of the experts who would be sent to schools as they have to communicate with children. Communication with children requires proper soft skills, empathy and also implementation of
