a case study is pretty much an essay form of a care plan. you begin by looking up information about asthma. start your presentation off with a discussion about what asthma is, it's cause, pathophysiology and signs and symptoms. then, following the steps of the nursing process you present your plan of care. (1) assessment - the signs and symptoms of a person having an asthma attack when they come into the er and what the doctor will order for them (2) the nursing problems (nursing diagnoses) (3) goals of nursing care and nursing interventions (4) putting the plan into action and (5) evaluation.

use the websites on this sticky to help you find information about asthma: https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/medical-disease-information-258109.html - medical disease information/treatment/procedures/test reference websites particularly this one:
