Frequent anaphylactic reactions require long-term treatment, which involves the provision of immunotherapy to reduce potential allergic reactions in the future (Tanno, Alvarez-Perea & Pouessel, 2019). However, de Silva et al. (2021) advise people to restrain themselves from allergic triggers and always carry autoinjectors containing self-administered epinephrine <\/a>in cases where treating the underlying immune system condition is challenging. The autoinjectors efficiently administer single-dose injections when pressed against the thigh. Therefore, nurses must take appropriate measures to prevent anaphylaxis from worsening and attain better patient outcomes (Hypersensitivity and Anaphylaxis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n de Silva, D., Singh, C., Muraro, A., Worm, M., Alviani, C., Cardona, V., … & European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Guidelines Group.

Type I hypersensitivity results from exposure to antigens and produces an immediate body response by producing the antibody IgE (Basu & Banik, 2018). It is triggered by bee stings, dust, and allergic asthma, resulting in symptoms like rush, wheezing, and edema. Consequently, type II hypersensitivity involves IgE and IgM antibodies and causes cytotoxic reactions that damage body cells and tissues (Dispenza, 2019) (Hypersensitivity and Anaphylaxis). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Its triggers include drugs like penicillin, and methyldopa, which cause hemolytic anemia and neutropenia. Type III hypersensitivity reaction occurs due to antigens and antibodies forming complexes on the skin (Dispenza, 2019). Drugs like antivenins and insect stings trigger it, which causes serum sickness, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. Lastly, Basu and Banik (2018) observe that type IV hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by T cells. Poison ivy, antibiotics, and anticonvulsants trigger it. These hypersensitivity reactions are fatal, hence require immediate treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basu, S., & Banik, B. K. (2018). Hypersensitivity: an overview.
