      abstract = {This book comprehensively presents all the necessary  information health professionals need to become Certified  Asthma Educators. Competent asthma educators must possess a  number of skills: they must have appropriate and sound  medical and pharmaceutical knowledge; be proficient and  effective educators who can influence their patients  behaviors for the better; and, finally, they need the  administrative and organizational skills needed to set up  and run efficient clinics at their places of work. The book  is divided into three sections to meet those needs: Asthma:  The Fundamentals; The Role of Education; and, The Effective  Asthma Educator. The first section covers clinical  knowledge of asthma, with chapters including lung structure  and function, clinical presentation of asthma, and  environmental issues in asthma management. The second  section delves into the role of educating patients and  teaches readers how to best do that with an integrated  approach between physician, educator, and patient. The  third section looks further into educating techniques with  a view of the learning process, considerations for  instruction locations, and the role the educator plays  overall. The final chapter in the book presents example  cases for readers to assess the knowledge they have learned  throughout. This second edition serves as both textbook and  study guide for certification as well as a long-term  reference publication. It has been fully updated from the  previous edition with the latest treatment guidelines,  medications, and disease monitoring methods. This is an  ideal guide for asthma educators, those seeking NAECB  certification, and any health professional involved with  individuals who have asthma.},
