A 42-yeаr-оld mаn with schizоphreniа presents tо your outpatient psychiatric clinic for a routine follow-up appointment. He has been stable on clozapine 400 mg daily for the past 18 months with good symptom control and medication adherence. He also has a 10-year history of asthma, currently managed by his primary care physician with a budesonide/formoterol inhaler (160/4.5 mcg) twice daily and albuterol as needed. During the visit, he mentions that over the past week he has had worsening shortness of breath, nighttime cough, and has been using his albuterol inhaler 5-6 times daily (previously used 2-3 times per week).  He has not contacted his primary care physician because "I didn't think it was that important" and his next PCP appointment is in 3 weeks.
