Case Study
Assignment
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)
Due Date
Sunday by 11:59 PM MT of Week 1
Total Points Possible
This assignment is worth 100 points.
Preparing the Assignment
Content Criteria:
1. Read the case study listed below.
2. Refer to the rubric for grading requirements.
3. Utilizing the Week 1 Case Study
TemplateLinks 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 evidencebased 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.
1177/0194599814561600Links 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.

for each.
2. Describe the mechanism of action for each of
the medication classes identified above.
3. Identify two treatment options that are NOT
recommended (I.e., recommended against).
