| | | | | | |

In a primary care office, a nurse practitioner (NP) assesses a client who reports
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


taking a new medication 30 minutes before arrival. The NP is concerned that the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


client may be having a hypersensitivity reaction. Which clinical manifestations
| | | | | | | | | |


should the NP expect | | |




Hypertension
Wheezing
Bradycardia
Diaphoresis
Urticaria

,Vomiting
Urticaria, wheezing, vomiting, and diaphoresis
| | | |




Immediate hypersensitivity is mediated by IgE antibodies, which result in an
| | | | | | | | | | |


allergy, anaphylaxis, or atopic disease. The NP should expect the client to have a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


type 1 hypersensitivity to recent medication use, which can include these
| | | | | | | | | | |


immediate reactions as clinical manifestations: urticaria, wheezing, vomiting, and
| | | | | | | | |


diaphoresis.
Hypertension and bradycardia are not associated with immediate hypersensitivity
| | | | | | | |


reactions.
|




____________ are the primary effector cells and responsible for initiating and
| | | | | | | | | | |


mediating _____________ hypersensitivity.
| |




Eosinophils, Neutrophils, Mast cells, or T-cells
| | | | |




Type 1, 2, 3, or 4
| | | | |




Mast cells are the primary effector cells and responsible for initiating and
| | | | | | | | | | | |


mediating type 1 hypersensitivity reactions.
| | | |




Characterized by the rapid release of proinflammatory mediators like histamine,
| | | | | | | | | |


leukotrienes, and cytokines in response to allergen exposure, mast cells are the
| | | | | | | | | | | |


primary effector cells responsible for initiating and mediating type 1
| | | | | | | | | |


hypersensitivity reactions. |




____________ hypersensitivity reactions involve the formation of _____________
| | | | | | |


|that can deposit in tissues, leading to complement activation, inflammation, and
| | | | | | | | | | |


tissue destruction.
|

,Type 1, 2, 3, or 4
| | | | |




IgE, IgM, IgG, immune complexes
| | | |




Type 3 hypersensitivity reactions involve the formation of immune complexes that
| | | | | | | | | |


|can deposit in tissues, leading to complement activation, inflammation, and
| | | | | | | | | |


tissue destruction. |




Type 3 hypersensitivity reactions involve the formation of immune complexes that
| | | | | | | | | |


can deposit in tissues, leading to complement activation and inflammation. This
| | | | | | | | | | | |


process can cause tissue damage and is associated with systemic lupus
| | | | | | | | | | |


erythematosus (SLE) and serum sickness. | | | | |




Type 1 reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies, and type 2 are mediated by IgG
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


or IgM antibodies. Type 4 reactions are activated by T-helper cells.
| | | | | | | | | |




Highlight the finding(s) the nurse practitioner (NP) recognizes as risk factors that
| | | | | | | | | | | |


may contribute to the client's new diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. Select all that
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


apply.


Camille Rutherford, 45-years-old
| |




Chief Complaint: red, dry, itchy skin on arms and legs, shortness of breath,
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


wheezing, and cough | |




Medical History: presents with a nonproductive cough, expiratory wheezing, and
| | | | | | | | | |


shortness of breath upon exertion; reports a gradual onset of these symptoms
| | | | | | | | | | | |


and mentioned that they have been progressively worsening when walking their
| | | | | | | | | | |


dog outside
|




Past Medical History: eczema, hypertension
| | | |




Social History: lives at home with daughter and their dog
| | | | | | | | |

, cough, wheezing, SOB, gradual onset, outside, eczema, dog
| | | | | | |




Allergic rhinitis attacks are related to ongoing exposure to specific offending
| | | | | | | | | | |


agents. The strongest risk factor for developing asthma is a history of atopic
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


disease (the client has eczema, a form of atopic dermatitis). Environmental
| | | | | | | | | | |


factors and allergens—such as high humidity, cold, dry weather, house dust mites,
| | | | | | | | | | |


|pet fur, and pollen—can place a client at risk for a new diagnosis of allergic
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


asthma.
With prior exposure to allergens, Camille was sensitized. Chronic exposure to
| | | | | | | | | | |


allergens mediated IgE antibodies to attach to sensitized cells, and with further
| | | | | | | | | | | |


exposure, IgE caused sensitized cells to degranulate. When degranulation occurs,
| | | | | | | | | |


inflammatory mediators like histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins are
| | | | | | | |


released to produce several effects on the body, such as shortness of breath and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


wheezing. Constriction of bronchial smooth muscle also occurs, which explains
| | | | | | | | | |


her respiratory symptoms: shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing. The NP can
| | | | | | | | | | | |


diagnose the client with a type I hypersensitivity reaction based on localized and
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


systemic symptoms. | |




The client's age and history of hypertension are not risk factors.
| | | | | | | | | |




A 25-year-old presents to the emergency department (ED) with symptoms of
| | | | | | | | | | |


ongoing weight loss, rapid heart rate, bilateral neck swelling, and hand tremors.
| | | | | | | | | | | |


Family medical history reveals a history of thyroid disorders. Physical examination
| | | | | | | | | | |


and laboratory tests confirm the diagnosis of Graves' disease. Which mechanism
| | | | | | | | | | |


below best explains the pathophysiology of Graves' disease?
| | | | | | |




A. Delayed-type hypersensitivity response in the thyroid gland
| | | | | | |




B. Activation of complement proteins leading to tissue damage
| | | | | | | |




C. Production of autoantibodies targeting the thyroid-stimulating hormone
| | | | | | | |
