Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to apply hypersensitivity pathophysiological concepts
to explain assessment findings of a patient with Allergic Rhinitis. Students will examine
all aspects of the patient’s assessment including: Chief Complaint (CC), History of
Present Illness (HPI), Past Medical History (PMH), Family History (FH), Social History
(SH), Review of Systems (ROS), and Medications and then answer the questions that
follow on the provided Comprehensive Case Study template.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
1. Analyze the case to arrive at the type of hypersensitivity reaction that the patient is
exhibiting. (CO1)
2. Explain the pathophysiology of the identified hypersensitivity reaction. (CO1)
3. Identify all subjective and objective information provided in the case. (CO3)
4. Explain, using pathophysiology, the rationale for each subjective and objective finding.
(CO1, CO3)
5. Identify two types of medications that are strongly recommended for the treatment of
allergic rhinitis according to the clinical practice guidelines on the management of
allergic rhinitis. (CO2, CO5)
6. Explain the mechanism of action of the two medication classifications and include how
the symptoms of allergic rhinitis are alleviated when taken. (CO2, CO5)
Total Points Possible: 100
Requirements:
Content Criteria:
1. Read the case study listed below.
2. Refer to the rubric for grading requirements.
3. Utilizing the Week 1 Case Study Template (Links to an external site.), provide your
responses to the case study questions listed below.
4. You must use at least one scholarly reference to provide pathophysiology statements.
For this class, use of the textbook for pathophysiology statements is acceptable. You
may also use an appropriate evidence-based journal.
5. You must use the Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for the management of allergic
rhinitis to answer the treatment recommendation questions. The guideline can be
found at the following web
address: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0194599814561600 (Links to an
external site.) .You may also use a medication administration reference such as
Epocrates to provide medication names.
6. Proper APA format (in-text citations, reference page, spelling, English language, and
grammar) must be used.
Case Study Scenario
A 35-year-old woman presents to the primary care office with a history of nasal
congestion that has worsened over time and recurrent sinus infections. She considered
herself healthy until about 12 months ago when she began experiencing rhinorrhea,
sneezing, and nasal stuffiness that “seems to never go away”. She noticed that her
rhinorrhea greatly improved when she attended her family reunion on a two-week
Caribbean cruise but returned after being home a few days. She lives with her husband
and 5- year-old child. They have two household pets: a dog that has lived with them for
the last 4 years and a cat who joined the family 1 year ago. Upon exam, the NP
observed eyelid redness and swelling, conjunctival swelling and erythema, allergic
shiners (lower lid venous swelling), Allergic crease (lateral crease on the nose) and
inflamed nares.
