teachers should not help students with asthma administer an inhaler, as this is a medical issue, not an educational one.

Teachers should not be expected to administer inhalers to students with asthma as this is primarily a medical responsibility and requires medical training. Teachers are not typically trained medical professionals, and the administration of medication, including inhalers, involves a serious responsibility best handled by trained school nurses or the students themselves if they are capable. However, teachers do play an important role in asthma management by recognizing early warning signs of asthma attacks, understanding students' asthma action plans, and alerting medical personnel when needed. School nurses hold the core responsibility for asthma management in schools, including administering medication and educating staff. Teachers can support asthma management by being informed about asthma symptoms, triggers, and protocols but should not directly administer inhalers unless properly trained and authorized. Effective asthma care in schools involves collaboration among school nurses, teachers, parents, and healthcare providers to ensure students' safety and well-being. In summary, the administration of inhalers is a medical issue and should primarily be handled by medical staff or trained individuals, not teachers, who contribute by supporting and monitoring asthma care rather than direct medical intervention.
