Template: 'Treatment plan initiated for mild intermittent asthma with bronchodilator therapy as needed.'
Template: 'Follow-up care for mild intermittent asthma including monitoring of symptoms and medication adherence.'
Documentation should include symptom frequency, severity, and response to treatment.
