title: Mastering the metered-dose inhaler: an essential step toward improving asthma control in school.
abstract: School nurses can have significant cohorts of students with asthma. Effectively managing asthma in school can be challenging in terms of time, resources, and outcomes. A valuable focus for the school nurse is inhaled medication administration. Understanding the details required for optimal inhalation technique with metered-dose inhalers is the foundation for developing the skills to deliver and teach this vital aspect of asthma management. The school nurse can play a pivotal role in the partnership of asthma education that can benefit the student in school and at home.
