Nurse Teaching on Pathophysiology of Inflammation

Nurse educated the patient and caregiver on pathophysiology of inflammation as follows:

  1. Inflammation is the response of any living tissue to injury.
  2. Acute inflammation comprises of all the reactions that occur in the injured tissue within first few minutes to an hour of encountering an injury.
  3. This is caused by many immune and hormonal responses that result in the release of various mediators of inflammation.
  4. The release of mediators of inflammation will result in migration of many inflammatory cells to the site of injury.
  5. Acute inflammatory response will offer protection and initiates the process of repair and restitution of the injured tissue to the normal state.
