question 28
2.5 pts
your patient is a 72 y/o male with a long history of smoking. he has been diagnosed with a chronic pulmonary disease in which the alveoli are larger than normal and have lost their elasticity. this patients pcp recently told him that his lung function has worsened. his lungs ability to perform their function of ventilation has been reduced, and he now has less than 50 percent normal inspiratory capacity based on his last pulmonary function test. given this information, what additional diagnosis will you include on this patients admission form?

cystic fibrosis
sleep apnea
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
tuberculosis

question 29
2.5 pts
what term is used to describe the harsh, high-pitched sound heard during inspiration? this often indicates an airway obstruction.

Analyze Question 28

Using the Clinical Case Analysis knowledge point, we evaluate the patient's clinical presentation:

• A 72-year-old male with a long history of smoking.
• Diagnosed with a chronic pulmonary disease characterized by permanently enlarged alveoli that have lost their elasticity. This is the classic pathological definition of emphysema.
• Emphysema, along with chronic bronchitis, falls under the umbrella term of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
• Looking at the options: cystic fibrosis, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and tuberculosis.
• Therefore, the most appropriate additional diagnosis to include on the admission form is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Analyze Question 29

Using the Abnormal Breath Sounds knowledge point, we identify the described respiratory sound:

• The question asks for the term used to describe a harsh, high-pitched sound heard during inspiration, which typically indicates an airway obstruction (specifically upper airway obstruction).
• Stridor is defined as a high-pitched, wheezing sound caused by disrupted airflow, most prominent during inspiration, resulting from laryngeal or tracheal obstruction.
• Rhonchi are low-pitched, continuous, snoring-like sounds typically heard during expiration, caused by secretions in larger airways.
• Therefore, the term describing this harsh, high-pitched inspiratory sound is stridor.
