Question:
Which risk factors are associated with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD)? (SATA)
Answer:
-Living with a cigarette smoker
-Exposure to pollution
Question:
A client is admitted with shortness of breath. Which
diagnostic studies would help identify lung function and gas
exchange changes caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD)? (SATA)
Answer:
-Arterial blood gas
-Spirometry
-Chest x-ray
Question:
Which information is true regarding clients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? (SATA)
Answer:
-COPD is caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or
particulate matter.
-The client may experience periods of exacerbation with
worsening clinical manifestations.
-COPD typically affects middle-aged to older adults.
-COPD encompasses both emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Question:
Identify history and assessment findings that indicate altered
, gas exchange. A client is transferred from an assisted living
facility to the emergency department due to shortness of
breath caused by an exacerbation of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).
Answer:
-RR 25 Breaths per minute
-HR 105 beats per minute
-oxygen saturation of 85% on room air
-COPD (20 pack years)
-Albuterol inhaler PRN for shortness of breath
-prednisone 20 mg daily
-oxygen therapy 2LPM
-episodes of respiratory distress for the past two days
-increased shortness of breath. Client is chronically on oxygen
takes prednisone daily.
Question:
A client is admitted with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) exacerbation. Match the nursing action with
the correct rationale.
1. Reposition the client.
2. Encourage deep/pursed lip breathing.
3. Use oxygen therapy as prescribed.
4. Perform percussion, vibration, and postural drainage.
5. Increase hydration.
Answer:
1. This will expand the lungs and encourage deeper breaths.
2. This increases airway pressure and allows COPD clients to
expel more air through delayed expiration.
3. This increases blood oxygen level.
4. This will help break up and remove thick secretions.
5. This thins secretions for easier airway clearance.
