presents with shortness of breath, minimal cough, and decreased
heart and lung sounds. Patients use pursed-lip breathing, and use
of accessory muscles is prominent. Chronic bronchitis is
characterized by a productive cough, wheezing, and coarse
crackles. A respiratory infection and/or pneumonia presents with
fever and new onset of symptoms.

accessory muscles. Her complete blood count (CBC) results
reveal that her hematocrit level is elevated. Her pulmonary
function test (PFT) results show increased total lung capacity.

Edition. Correct Answer B) Chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). COPD is a progressive lung disease that
includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The most common
, risk factor for COPD is long-term cigarette smoking (80%-
90%). Another cause is alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and
chronic fume exposure. The three cardinal symptoms of COPD
are dyspnea, chronic cough, and sputum production. The lungs
are hyperinflated, which changes the shape of the chest and
diaphragm, making the mechanics of breathing more difficult.
Excess mucus and obstructed airflow from progressive
thickening and stiffening of the airways diminish breath sounds.
COPD creates a high hematocrit percentage because of chronic
hypoxemia.
