Answer:

2. I should report an increase in sputum

4. I will get a pneumococcal vaccine

5. I will use albuterol if I am short of breath

Explanation:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a term used to describe progressive lung diseases (including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and severe forms of asthma. People who suffer from COPD usually experience an increased production of sputum (mucus) and shortness of breath. They make use of inhalers/ bronchodilators  to assist with their breathing.

Albuterol (a medication) is one such bronchodilator, which is used to open the airways and ease the breathing.

Getting pneumococcal vaccines will be beneficial to the patient, because it will reduce the risk of them contracting community acquired pneumonia.

If the patient uses these statements, it indicates that they have an appropriate understanding of the condition.

Oksana_A [137]
Ok ok no fret im here to help as best as i can :)
Weathering is a process that breaks down or changes rocks into smaller pieces. Various atmospheric aspects are responsible for weathering processes. Weathering is different from erosion. Erosion is the movement of rock pieces and sediment from one area to another. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and erosion is a wearing away of rocks. There are two main types of weathering: physical (or mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Quite often, both forms of weathering will occur together

Physical weathering is also known as mechanical weathering. This type of weathering occurs when rocks and other landforms are broken down by physical factors in the environment. These physical factors include wind, water, sun, ice and temperature changes
