Question: What is the relationship between Inflammation and Immobility? How would immobility first aid, then hinder healing? in our body. While we still have a set of standard 'healthy values' for vital signs, we expect our older patients to vary from 'normal' in certain ways. What signs and symptoms do you expect in an aging patient? What would tell you that the changes were more than just aging? Would 'youthful' vital signs be good, or might there be cause for concern?
