Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: When symptoms occur every day, the asthma is considered moderate persistent.
Rationale 2: When symptoms occur more than one night a week, the asthma is considered moderate persistent.
Rationale 3: When symptoms affect daily activity, the asthma is considered moderate persistent.
Rationale 4: When symptoms sometimes affect daily activity, the asthma is considered mild persistent.
Rationale 5: When attacks occur less than two times a month, the asthma is considered intermittent.
Global Rationale: Assessment of asthma severity is based on frequency of symptoms, the number of nocturnal attacks, and presence of activity limitations. Moderate persistent asthma is diagnosed when attacks occur daily, nocturnal attacks occur more than 1 time per week, and attacks affect activity. When symptoms sometimes affect daily activity, the asthma is considered mild persistent. When attacks occur less than two times a month, the asthma is considered intermittent.
