Select one:

b. restrictive respiratory disorder

c. obstructive respiratory disorder

d. respiratory failure e. none of the above are correct

Answer 1

Answer: (A) Any of the disorders covered by the umbrella term COPD

Rationale: COPD - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This diseases caused due to the inflammation in the bronchus, or copious amount of mucus in the lungs, which struck in the alveoli of the lungs and exchanges of the gas will be difficult. So it resulted in the CODD.

when this condition occurs, our  vital capacity of the lungs will be reduced, which is seen in the diagnostic test for COPD.
