Calvin is a 20 year old African American who comes to your clinic for the first time complaining of asthma type symptoms

"Hi, I'm Calvin. I've been having a lotta trouble breathing. My chest feels tight and I've been wheezing a lot. I have to use my inhaler at least twice a day now.My grandmother has two cats that seem to make my symptoms worse when I am around them lately. The cats make my eyes and nose watery and itchy. I am thinking I might have developed an allergy to the cats.

I smoke at least half a pack of cigarettes a day but am trying to stop. I've been taking fluticasone spray when I feel really bad. They told me I could take Claritin or loratadine, but I very seldom take it. I've even had to go to the emergency room this year".

1. Select one mid-range or situation-specific theory that is congruent with the care of Calvin on asthma

2. Identify his current health-related problems

3. Include rationale on how the selected mid-range theory or situation-specific theory fits based in the problems identified.

4. Introduce a research source article of your choosing that either uses the theory congruent with his care or one whichcould easily apply to this theory. Explain why.
