This is a quiz that contains NCLEX review questions about COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Patients who have COPD are experiencing limited airflow due to obstructive pulmonary disease. COPD limits gas exchange which can lead to serious complications that affect the rest of body, such as the heart. In the previous
