COPD - (ANSWER)Preventable and treatable disease state characterized by air flow limitation that is not
fully reversible.



Emphysema - (ANSWER)Presence of permanent enlargement of the air spaces distal to the terminal
bronchioles, accompanied by destruction of their walls and without obvious fibroisis



Chronic bronchitis - (ANSWER)Chronic productive cough for three months in each of two successive
years in a pt for whom other causes of the productive cough have been excluded



Etiology of COPD - (ANSWER)- tobacco smoke

-genetic predisposition

- indoor and outdoor pollution



Pt Assessment of Emphysema Pt (Primary assessment) - (ANSWER)AKA pink puffer or Type A COPD

Body build = thin, underweight

Past medical history = Tobacco use

Cough = Less common, muciod secretions

Appearance of chest = Barrel chest, increased A-P diameter (Hoover's Sign)

Respiratory Pattern = Dyspnea, pursed-lip breathing, accessory muscle use, especially during
exacerbations

Color= Often reddish

Clubbing = Late stage

Diagnostic Chest Percussion = Hyperresonant/ Tympanic note

Breath Sounds = Diminished, prolonged expiration
