A 35-year-old comes to the  clinic. He states, “It’s getting close to allergy season and I need  something to keep me from getting sick. Last year the doc gave me a  shot, a spray, some pills, and an inhaler. They worked really  well but I  don’t remember what they were. Can I have those things again? I just  can’t afford to miss work.”

Please answer the following questions in a narrative format: 

1. Discuss the epidemiology of allergies.
2. What are your treatment options (consider pharmacoeconomic)? Compare first and second-generation antihistamines.
3. What education will you provide to the patient?

 

What is the difference between a group “at risk” for poor health and a group considered a “vulnerable” population? Provide an example of an “at risk” or “vulnerable population” group in the United States and one in another country (or immigrants within the United States). 

1.Explain why members of these groups cannot advocate for themselves or why advocating for these groups would be beneficial. 

2.What would you advocate for? 

3.Identify ethical issues that need to be addressed when working with these individuals. 

4.Provide information about the selected “at risk” group. How many individuals fall into this group and what are some issues they face.
