Abstract

Stuffy nose, itchy and watery eyes, shortness of breath with wheezing, hives and stomach upsets often translate into allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, urticaria and food allergies. These symptoms present a diagnostic dilemma to practitioners, even when sophisticated immunologic tests are available. Given a good history, however, the most common allergic disorders can be diagnosed and managed by nurse practitioners. In this article, an overview is presented which includes a discussion of four chronic adult allergic problems: rhinitis, asthma, urticaria and food allergies. A review of basic immunological principles is provided. Each condition is described in terms of data collection and assessment criteria. General client education guidelines follow.

摘要

鼻塞、眼睛瘙痒流泪、伴有喘息的呼吸急促、荨麻疹和胃部不适常常意味着过敏性鼻炎、过敏性哮喘、荨麻疹和食物过敏。这些症状给从业者带来了诊断难题，即便有先进的免疫学检测手段。然而，凭借详细的病史，执业护士就能诊断并处理最常见的过敏性疾病。本文将进行概述，包括对四种成人慢性过敏性问题的讨论：鼻炎、哮喘、荨麻疹和食物过敏。还会提供基本免疫学原理的综述。每种病症都从数据收集和评估标准方面进行描述。随后是一般的患者教育指南。
