Question 1 of 5

Which diagnostic test should the nurse anticipate the health-care provider ordering to rule out the diagnosis of asthma in clients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A bronchodilator reversibility test differentiates asthma from COPD by assessing whether airway obstruction is reversible. In asthma, lung function (e.g., FEV1) improves significantly post-bronchodilator, while COPD shows minimal improvement. Bronchoscopy (
A) is invasive and not specific for this differentiation. Immunoglobulin E (
B) is relevant for allergies, not distinguishing asthma from COPD. Arterial blood gases (
C) assess oxygenation but do not differentiate these conditions.
