Question 1 of 5
On assessing Mr. Puff, what would you expect to find?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased anteroposterior chest diameter. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), like Mr. Puff, there is often air trapping leading to hyperinflation of the lungs. This results in an increased anteroposterior chest diameter, known as a "barrel chest" appearance. Option A (‘Blue bloater’ appearance) is associated with chronic bronchitis, not necessarily COPD. Option B (Copious amount of thin sputum) is more indicative of bronchiectasis. Option D (Prolonged inspiratory time) is a nonspecific finding and not typically associated with COPD.
