- 1Define COPDA disease state characterized by chronic airflow obstruction from chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or chronic asthma.
- 2What diseases constitute COPD?Chronic bronchitis, asthma (kind of), emphysema
- 3T/F: COPD is characterized by a progressive decline in lung function and recurrent exacerbations that increase this decline.True
quitting smoking is the only way to stop disease progression - 4Chronic BronchitisThe conducting airways (particularly the bronchi)are the primary structures that undergo change in chronic bronchitis.
- 5Clinical manifestations of Chronic BronchitisChronic inflammation and swelling of the wall of the peripheral airways.Excessive mucous production and accumulation. Partial or total mucous plugging of the airways. Smooth muscle constriction of bronchial airways(bronchospasm).

- 10Signs and Symptoms of COPD1. dyspnea
2. fatigue
3. chronic cough
4. chest tightness
5. sputum production - 11Ways to measure lung function?Pulse Oximeter and Spirometer
- 12Pulse Oximeter definePulse Oximeter define place on fingertip and will report amount of oxygen in blood. needs to be greater than 90%
- 13Spirometer definebreath into the device very slowly and exhale normally for 10 repetitions. A patient should have 1000 ml volume for reasonable amount of air inhaled.
- 14OT treatment of COPD1. graded activities to improve endurance and strength
2. functional activities- ADLs/IADLs , gradually increase level of activity.
3. patient education in energy conservation and simplification techniques.
