I have been reading a lot around systemic inflammatory response syndrome and am a bit confused can someone help please.
My understanding of it that the immune system becomes overwhelmed and therefore unable to maintain homeostasis .
There for releases inflammatory mediators such as histamine ,prostaglandins,cytokines into circulation causing widespread vasodilaton causing hypotension and capillaries to become more permeable.
Is it right
i dont want anone to do my home work just some advice thank you

Yep, that's pretty much it. SIRS is an overreaction to an insult (injury or infection). SIRS itself has specific diagnostic criteria based on vital signs and labs. SIRS is a pre-requisite for the diagnosis of sepsis. SIRS can lead to shock and organ failure, and potentially MODS,
so it is the immune system being over whelmed and being unable to maintain homeostasis
thank you

You did a good job researching - it wasn't so hard!
Now, when you see it, and you will, you'll know what's happening and those critical thinking skills will kick in and your patient will get appropriate care.
Again, good job!

there wouldn't be any problems if you posted your questions in the nursing student assistance forum (https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/). that is what that forum is for--to help students.
