Question

1. which strategy below could help you prevent allergies and asthma?

identify and reduce known triggers such as dust, mold, pollen, pet dander, or smoke.
keep windows open to let in fresh air, even during high pollen days.
avoid physical activity to keep your breathing steady.
take over-the-counter medication only when symptoms become severe.
clear all

Explanation:

• For the option "Keep windows open...", high pollen days mean more pollen in the air, opening windows would increase exposure, so it's wrong.
• For "Avoid physical activity...", proper physical activity is good for asthma/allergy patients (with precautions), avoiding all is incorrect.
• For "Take over - the - counter...", over - the - counter meds should be used as per guidance, not only when severe, and this is more about treatment than prevention.
• For "Identify and reduce known triggers...", allergens like dust, mold, pollen, pet dander, smoke are common triggers for allergies and asthma. Reducing exposure to them is a key prevention strategy.

Answer:

A. Identify and reduce known triggers such as dust, mold, pollen, pet dander, or smoke.
