write a response Inflammation is a process which responds to cellular or tissue damage regardless of location or condition of tissue. Inflammation is a common response to tissue homeostasis disruptions and is considered key driver of many pathological conditions (Hong, et. al., 2025). Humoral and cellular responses are rapidly activated to destroy pathogens, trigger the adaptive immune response, limit the extent of tissue damage, and initiate the healing process (Huether, et. al., 2020). Auto immune disorders are chronic and systemic, often lifelong, and involve adaptive immunity attacking self-antigens. Goals of inflammation include preventing and limiting infection and further damage, limiting and controlling the inflammatory process, initiate adaptive immune response and initiate healing. Cellular components of inflammation include erythrocytes, platelets and leukocytes (granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes). Acute and chronic inflammatory diseases differ in duration and causes. Acute is typically rapid and short lived related to infection or injury. This usually last a few days to weeks usually caused by an identifiable injury causing infection. Signs and symptoms include redness, swelling, and heat. Chronic is more persistent and prolonged lasting months or even years and may involve more complex factors including autoimmune disorders or other diseases. Signs and symptoms commonly seen include changes in weight, joint pain and fatigue. Labs tests the nurse would exp
