Explain the pathophysiology of the disorder depicted in the scenario including the associated alterations. Be sure to describe the patients adaptive responses to the alterations.

Adaptive Response
Order Description
consider this scenario: Jack is a 27-year-old male who presents with redness and irritation of his hands. He reports that he has never had a problem like this before but about 2 weeks ago he noticed that both his hands seemed to be really red and flaky. He denies any discomfort stating that sometimes they feel a little bit hot but otherwise they feel fine. He does not understand why they are so red. His wife told him that he might have an allergy and he should get some steroid cream. Jack has no known allergies and no significant medical history except for recurrent ear infections as a child. He denies any traumatic injury or known exposure to irritants. He is a maintenance engineer in a newspaper building and admits that he often works with abrasive solvents and chemicals. Normally he wears protective gloves but lately they seem to be in short supply so sometimes he does not use them. He has exposed his hands to some of these cleaning fluids but says that it never hurt and he always washed his hands when he was finished.
