My Disease Process is  ALLERGIES

The purpose of this discussion is to examine disease processes associated with a client scenario following the instructions below. The course faculty will reveal the disease process at the end of the week. 

Step 1: Carefully read the following client scenario: 

Wilbur, a 55-year-old male client, presents to the NP complaining of a flat, purple-colored rash on his back and chest. Wilbur states the rash is not painful or itchy. He states it has been there for months, and he has also developed a white coating on his tongue and has “been sick a lot lately.” 

 

Step 3: Answer the discussion prompts below with explanation and detail, providing complete references for all citations. . 

Include the following sections:  

1. Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail. 

1. Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of your assigned disease process. Which clinical manifestations observed in Wilbur’s case may be explained by the pathophysiological mechanisms? 
2. Analyze Wilbur’s clinical manifestations as they relate to your assigned disease process. Do these findings support your assigned disease process? Why or why not?  
3. Identify and justify the diagnostic tests (including labs, imaging, or other diagnostic tests) that may be most appropriate for investigating your assigned disease process as the diagnosis for Wilbur. Discuss anticipated test results.
