Which of the following conditions is most likely the patient's pulmonary
issue?
a. Chronic asthma.
b. Pulmonary hypertension.
c. Pneumonia.

,d. Morbid obesity.

The NP is seeing a patient with chronic bronchitis that needs
spirometry on today's visit. What pulmonary function test (PFT) findings
are anticipated based on the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis?
a. Decreased diffusing capacity.
b. Decreased total lung capacity (TLC).
c. Decreased forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
d. Increased lung compliance.
c




A patient with normal lungs should be able to exhale -------------of the
forced vital capacity within the first second.

The NP reviews the results of a patient's pulmonary function tests and
notes that the FEV1, FVC, and total lung capacity (TLC) are reduced.
The FEV1/FVC ratio is normal. Based on interpretation, this reflects:
a. Restrictive lung disease.

, b. Obstructive lung disease.
c. The test is invalid.
d Combined obstructive-restrictive lung disease.
