Use APA 7th Edition
For this assignment use the case study to respond to the prompts.
The scenario indicates that the patient has strep throat. I have included some links with information about strep, but feel free to use more resouces that are 6 years old and younger.
Scenario 1: A 16-year-old boy comes to clinic with chief complaint of sore throat for 3 days. Denies fever or chills. PMH (past medical history) negative for recurrent colds, influenza, ear infections or pneumonias. NKDA (no known drug allergies) or food allergies. Physical exam reveals temp of 99.6 F, pulse 78 and regular with respirations of 18. HEENT normal with exception of reddened posterior pharynx with white exudate on tonsils that are enlarged to 3+. Positive anterior and posterior cervical adenopathy. Rapid strep test performed in office was positive. His HCP (healthcare provider) wrote a prescription for amoxicillin 500 mg po q 12 hours x 10 days disp #20. He took the first capsule when he got home and immediately complained of swelling of his tongue and lips, difficulty breathing with audible wheezing. 911 was called and he was taken to the hospital, where he received emergency treatment for his allergic reaction.
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation: I suggest that each bullet point be a subject heading and submit in APA format. Each bullet point should reflect a subject heading followed by subsequent content reflective of primary source(s) of reference published within the last 6 years.
The role genetics plays in the disease. (Genetics plays no role in strep throat. Strep throat is caused by bacteria. You can expound on this point)
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described. (Sore throat is an inflammatory response caused by infection).
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred. (Please use resources to better respond to this prompt.)
The cells that are involved in this process. (Please research this)
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response. (use age as a charchteristic and describe how younger children are more prone to recurrent strep infections.)
Of note, each bullet point should reflect its own subject heading.
