A 27-year-old female patient presents to the emergency room complaining of wheezing and difficulty breathing following a run with friends in the park. She admits to a history of asthma as a child, but has been asymptomatic for several years and is not currently under the care of a pulmonologist. A nurse administers a bronchodilator by inhalation (MDI) and teaches the patient about the following medications as commonly used rescue and maintenance medications: Albuterol; Salmeterol; Mometasone/formoterol. The patient is discharged and is advised to schedule an appointment with a pulmonologist for a complete respiratory evaluation.
