A 12 year old child who is consistently higher than 80% on her peak flow meter should:

  1. Seek immediate medical attention

  2. Stop using albuterol

  3. Continue using her current dose of albuterol and spacer

  4. Start a new medication

The correct answer is: Continue using her current dose of albuterol and spacer

This is because consistently higher peak flow readings indicate well-controlled asthma. Seeking medical attention or starting a new medication would be unnecessary in this case. Stopping the use of albuterol could also be harmful as it is a rescue medication often used for asthma symptoms. Continuing with the current dose of albuterol and spacer is the appropriate course of action for a well-managed condition.
