Answer 1

A gravid patient with severe asthma should not stop taking her asthma medications because she is worried they may harm her fetus because response by the nurse is that they are safe and not harm fetus.

Asthma will typically be managed with rescue inhalers to treat symptoms (salbutamol) and controller inhalers that stop symptoms (steroids). Severe cases could need longer-acting inhalers that keep the airways open (formoterol, salmeterol, tiotropium), similarly as inhalant steroids.

Asthma medications embody Ventolin (Proventil, Ventolin) and levalbuterol (Xopenex). These short-acting bronchodilators seem to be safe throughout pregnancy . Many studies have shown that the babies of women who used these medicine throughout pregnancy  had no increase in health issues in comparison to the babies of mothers who failed to.
