Question

The mnemonic COMPLIANCE aids in remembering:

a. barriers to patient compliance

b. patient characterizes which facilitates compliance

c. reasons for non- compliance

d. tactics to improve patients compliance

Answer 1

CORRECT ANSWER IS OPTION A - barriers to patient compliance

Compliance of the lung represent the capacity to lung to stress and distend at the time of respiration

The main barriers for the Compliance are represented by the Mneumonic COMPLIANCE .

C- COLLAGEN DEPOSITION (Causes pulmonary fibrosis )

O- OSSIFICATION OF COSTAL CARTILAGE

M- MAJOR OBESITY

P -PULMONARY VENOUS CONGESTION

L - LUNG SIZE

I- INCREASED EXPANDING PRESSURE

A- AGE NO SURFACTANT

C - CHEST WALL SCARRING

E - EMPHYSEMA

These condition decreases the elastic power of the lung and make the lung more stiffer for stretching and expansion.

Decreased compliance requires more deeper power for respiration.

Surfactant increases lung compliance by decreasing the Surface tension.

Drug like diuretic can improvise the Low compliance.
