What do YOU think is the correct answer and why?

:doh:

[VioletKaliLPN, LPN]

think about it.. what is asthma? how does it affect the body....? what could one do that would cause this effect...

I actually do not know the answer to this question for sure, but just by looking at it I'm able to make a pretty well educated guess. Do your research

I would say that the greatest cause of asthma in this case is just asking other people to do the homework and not getting off the butt to find the answer for yourself.

OP, in the length of time it took you to post this here, you could have found the answer on your own, and is the only real way you'll learn! Google is your friend! :)

Agreed...I think you're overthinking this question, though.

I'm really glad no one is doing this person's homework. He/she continues to post homework questions on this board w/o bothering to post his/her own rationales or answers.

OP - please do you own homework. We are all pretty helpful people around here but we aren't going to do you homework for you. All of your questions are pretty basic type stuff too - many of them math problems that I'm quite sure are either outlined in a nursing book (drug guide or pharm book) somewhere and/or easily answered after reading the math sticky on these forums.

Thats a silly question... Think really hard

[nurse2033, MSN, RN]

You didn't list a number of other causes, several of which I would put above the ones listed.
