NURS 6521 FNU Epidemiology and Treatment of Allergy Case Study Analysis

A 35-year-old enters the medical facility. He says, “I need something to prevent me from getting sick as allergy season approaches. I received a shot, a spray, some pills, and an inhaler from the doctor last year. I don’t recall what they were, but they did a great job. Can I get those things once more? Simply put, I cannot miss work.
