Question 1 of 5

While examining a client, the nurse observes the client's chest to be barrel-shaped. The nurse would interpret this as indicating which of the following?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: COPD. A barrel-shaped chest is a common finding in patients with COPD due to chronic hyperinflation of the lungs. This shape results from increased anterior-posterior diameter. This is caused by air trapping and hyperinflation, leading to increased lung compliance and decreased lung recoil. Pigeon Chest (
A) and Funnel Chest (
C) are structural deformities of the chest wall, not related to COPD. Pneumonia (
B) is an acute infection of the lungs and does not cause a barrel-shaped chest.
