- A national emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic led to changes affecting food allergy management for children, highlighting a lack of research in this area.
- Parents were surveyed to gather insights on how these regulatory and medical changes influenced their management of food allergies.
- Findings showed significant concerns about accessing emergency care, school reentry, and food shortages, with many parents not discussing new recommendations with healthcare providers.
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) emerged into clinical practice, and its delivery highlights the multifaceted expertise of registered nurses (RN) as central to allergy/immunology interprofessional collaborative teams. The allergist-RN model of clinical evidenced-based OIT provision is presented. RN competencies, role components, and intervention examples are included to assist RNs and allergists in maximizing RN capabilities.
