Answer: Option b, c and d

Hence, the option B, C and D are all the pathophysiology examination of patient suffering from COPD.

  • In high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries, respectively, 7 and 10 out of every 100 hospitalized patients contract a healthcare-associated infection.
  • Up to 25% of patients experience difficulties as a result of unsafe surgical care methods. Every year, over 7 million surgical patients experience serious problems, and 1 million of them pass away during or right after an operation.

  • In outpatient care settings, 5% of individuals experience diagnostic mistakes, of which more than half have the potential to be seriously harmful. In most cases, a diagnostic error will occur within a person's lifespan.
