NR507NP WEEK 3 COPD EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
chronic bronchitis -ANSsmoking is the number one cause of this
hypoxemia and hypercapnia -ANSlate effects of emphysema
alpha-antitrypsin 1 deficiency -ANSinability to block the effects of proteolysis
decreased FEV1/FVC ratio -ANSwhat pulmonary function test results are expected in a
patient with chronic bronchitis?
respiratory acidosis (inability to exhale CO2) -ANSa patient with chronic bronchitis is
most like to experience ______
chronic bronchitis and emphysema -ANSCOPD consists of _____
COPD -ANScharacterized by an airflow limitation that is not fully reversible
risk factors for COPD -ANSsmoking, air pollutants, chemical fumes, dust, antibiotic use,
preterm birth, alpha-antitrypsin gene
flattened diaphragm, distended lung fields, increased thoracic diameter -ANSCXR
results for COPD
GOLD criteria -ANSused to classify the severity of COPD in patients already diagnosed
by spirometry who are at their baseline symptoms and lung function; should NOT be
used in patients less than 18 NOR in those with acute exacerbation
chronic bronchitis -ANScharacterized by bronchial inflammation, hypersecretion of
mucus, and chronic productive cough that persists for at least 3 consecutive months for
at least 2 successive years
causes of COPD -ANSlong term exposure to environmental irritants, repeated episodes
of acute bronchitis (infection), and factors affecting gestational or childhood lung
development
chronic bronchitis -ANScauses excess mucus production and accumulation,
hypertrophy of bronchial smooth muscles, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of bronchial
mucus-producing cells, airflow obstruction, and decreased alveolar ventilation
irreversible -ANSlung damage from chronic bronchitis is ______
