An elderly resident of an assisted-living facility has had his mobility and independence significantly impaired by the progression of his rheumatoid arthritis (RA). What is the primary pathophysiologic process that has contributed to this client's decline in health

Respuesta :

The primary pathophysiologic process that contributed to the client's health decline is an immunologically mediated joint inflammation. This type of health problem involves immune responses.

Inflammation is a natural immune response that helps to fight against infections and/or repair damaged tissues.

However, it is well known that inflammatory immune responses may also produce pain when they affect the joints.

Immune-mediated polyarthritis is a disease that occurs when the immune system generates an unproportioned inflammatory response in the joints, thereby producing pain and swelling.
