Document Summary
Chapter 20: coordinating care for pt. with immune. Immune system provides defense against microorganisms while: preventing proliferation of cancer cells initiates healing. Immune disorders > de ciency or overactivity; such as anaphylaxis or autoimmune disorders. Epidemiology - most common accounts for 50% of cases.
