2. Which Of The Following Are Indications For Performing Spirometry?
1. Assess The Risk Of Lung Resection.
2. Determine The Response To Bronchodilator Therapy.
3. Assess The Severity Of Restrictive Lung Disease.
4. Quantify The Extent Of Copd.
a. 1 And 4
b. 2 And 3
c. 1 , 2, And 4
d. 2 , 3, And 4
Answer: C
Spirometry Cannot Assess Severity Of Restriction; For That You Need To Measure Lung
Volumes (See Box 1-2, Chapter 1).
