Explain the Pathophysiology Associated With the Chosen Pulmonary Disease.

  COPD is defined by chronic airflow limitation due to a combination of small-airway disease in the form of obstructive bronchiolitis and parenchymal destruction that manifests itself as emphysema. It leads to chronic inflammation that impairs the thinness of airways and destruction of lung tissues, thus reducing airstream flow. It involves smoking, which is a vital cause of an immune system attack on lung tubes. Identify at Least Three Subjective Findings From the Case Which Support the Chosen Diagnosis. Three subjective findings from the case supporting the diagnosis of COPD include: The severe respiratory distress observed in A.C. is evidenced by increased workload, one of the cardinal characteristics associated with COPD that points to depleting lung function and
