A person with asthma may not or will have a hard time helping him or herself when an asthma attack occurs. Help from people who are with him or her is of most importance. Especially on activities where guidance of officials of an organization or institution is practiced, giving them an asthma action plan will help them know what to do so that they can be of assistance with the person with asthma.
