Clinical Practice and Vitamin

Asthma has emerged as one of the most common health problems and chronic diseases that affect children worldwide. Healthcare practitioners have become concerned with the increased prevalence of asthma among children. This study focuses on examining the role of vitamin D in prevention and/or control of asthma among children. The evaluation is conducted on the premise that vitamin D has been positively linked with enhanced control of asthma and decreased exacerbations of the condition.

The study seeks to fill gaps in knowledge regarding the role of vitamin D in asthma, which remains relatively unclear. The discussion also demonstrates the clinical implications relating to the use of vitamin D in treatment of asthma. Background and Significance Asthma is regarded as one of the most common diseases and long-term health conditions that affect children. This condition is basically defined as a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways involving several cells and cellular elements (Yadav & Mittal, 2014).

The prevalence of asthma among children has increased significantly across the globe in the past few years. The increase in the prevalence of this condition among children has in turn generated a growing burden of the condition with regards to mortality, morbidity, and reduced quality of life. Actually, healthcare professionals have considered asthma among children as a health problem and agent of morbidity among children (Trollvik et al., 2011). In this regard, vitamin D is considered as one of the most suitable interventions towards addressing asthma among children.

Vitamin D helps in increasing calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, which in turn controls neuromuscular function and bone health (Somashekar, Privthi & Godwa, 2014; Tachimoto et al., 2016). However, recent studies have demonstrated that the role of vitamin D in asthma remains unclear. This study is significant towards determining the effect of using vitamin D in asthmatic children, which helps in establishing its role in the condition.

Through this process, the study will help fill gaps in knowledge regarding the role of vitamin D in preventing and/or treating asthma, especially among children. Proposed Implementation The proposed implementation for addressing the problem of asthma among children based on existing studies on this issue is increasing vitamin D supplementation. Increasing vitamin D is a crucial aspect for implementation because the link between asthma and vitamin has been established in existing literature. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of asthmatic children should involve increasing vitamin D supplements.

Healthcare practitioners should include vitamin D supplements as part of interventions to enhance control of asthma among children. As shown in existing studies, increasing vitamin D supplements for asthmatic children has been found to reduce exacerbations of the disease and enhancing patients' control of this chronic inflammatory disorder. Therefore, this study proposes that vitamin D administration should be included and enhanced when administering other treatment measures to address asthma. This means that treatment of asthma should not only involve using medication but also entail increasing administration of vitamin supplements.

However, the intervention measures should involve examining vitamin D levels in the asthmatic child before administering the supplements. Measuring vitamin D levels prior to administering vitamin D supplements helps in determining the appropriate levels to be administered and increasing the short-term and long-term clinical benefits of the intervention. These clinical benefits are enhanced abilities to control the asthmatic condition due to high levels of vitamin D. Implications for Clinical Practice/Needs for Future Research The proposal for enhancing vitamin D supplements in asthmatic children has significant implications for clinical practice.

First, this proposal demonstrates the need to incorporate vitamin D as part of the treatment interventions for asthma among children. Secondly, it contributes to the need to identify the most suitable levels of vitamin D to improve control of the disease. This need emerges from the fact that the link between vitamin D and improved control of asthma is shown in existing literature. For.
