Answer 48

48.  Choice C is the correct answer.  This patient should be started on a controller.  She is using her rescue inhaler more than 2 times a week for a period of several weeks.  Prednisone would be appropriate for an asthma exacerbation.  Theophylline is not used much anymore due to high side effect profile and the need to do labs and potential toxicity.
