[Answered]: G.B

G.B. an 18-year-old African American female college student, lives on campus with three other students. Her home is approximately 100 miles away. She has been at college since the beginning of the fall semester, approximately 2 weeks. She presents today with a chief complaint of fits of sneezing (sometimes 10 in a row); a runny, itchy, stuffy nose; and red, tearing eyes. Her temperature is 99°F; blood pressure is 118/78. She denies cough and headache. Her chest is clear. Her past medical history is unremarkable, except for “hay fever” when she was younger, which she “outgrew” during high school. These symptoms are the same. She is having difficulty studying because of the sneezing and itching nose, and she is embarrassed to be in class with these symptoms. She was nervous about meeting the challenges of college and making new friends. Her local physician prescribed lorazepam (Ativan) 1.0 mg as needed for stress, anxiety, or both. So far, she has taken two doses of a prescription for 30 tablets.
