Alterations in Pathophysiology Related Health Promotion and

Health (Diagnosis) to Client Problem Disease Prevention
-Impaired gas exchange Emphesyma: alveolar Smoking cessation d/t it
or airway clearance destruction>loss of being the biggest risk
recoil>increased PAP

ASSESSMENT SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
Risk Factors Expected Findings -self pace when
-Smoking DOE, productive cough, exercising
-Air pollution/chemicals/toxins hypoxemia, rapid shallow -avoiding irritants
-Alpha1-antitypsin deficiency respirations, barrel chest, use of like smoke,
-age accessory muscles, weight loss pollutions, etc
-temperature
extremes
Laboratory Tests Diagnostic Procedures -O2 in the home
precautions
-genetic testing -chest x-ray: hyperinflation of
-ABG’s: low O2, high CO2 alveoli and flattened diaphragm
-Pulse oximetry <95% -FEV1/FVC

PATIENT-CENTERED CARE Complications
