1. Imagine you are educating a patient who is about to undergo a pulmonary function test because of a potential diagnosis of COPD. (a) Explain, in words the patient will understand, the relationship between bronchiolar diameter, resistance, and airflow. (b) Explain to the patient the term FEV1 and how FEV1% can be used as a diagnostic tool to confirm his possible COPD diagnosis. [Hint: you might refer back to IP: Pulmonary Ventilation]  Â
Â
2. a) Report your Subject’s resting FVC, FEV1, and FEV1% values from Table 1. How do they compare with the typical values for someone of the same gender and age (see graph in Figure 4 and final column of Table 1)? (b) Report your Subject’s Post-Exercise FEVx and FEV1% values (Table 2). Discuss the implications of any significant differences between these and the resting values. Does the Subject show any signs of exercise-induced asthma?
