Introduction
In this case study, the discussion is on a male patient in his mid-fifties suffering from chronic COPD, and requires hospitalisation. The patient is diagnosed by conducting X-Ray, which shows emphysema, one of the main causes for COPD. X-Ray can rule out other lung problems or heart failure. For the proper detection of emphysema, CT scan for lungs is conducted, which will later help in performing surgery for COPD. As a nurse, the nursing assessments required to be performed are: assessing the patients exposed to the risk factors, assessing the patients past and present medical history, assessing the signs and symptoms of COPD and the severity, assessing the patient’s knowledge regarding the disease, assessing the vital stats of the patients and monitoring the sound of the breath and pattern (Cox et al., 2017).
