COPR Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) Practice Exam

How can you help the resident with COPD and his/her family?

Ask the family to leave when the resident is experiencing shortness of breath (SOB) to avoid increased anxiety in the resident. Be patient when working with the resident with SOB. Speak to the resident in a calm and reassuring manner. B and C.

Correct Answer:

B and C.

Explanation:

Residents with COPD may become anxious when short of breath, so the CNA should remain patient and speak calmly. Calm reassurance and patience help reduce fear and support breathing; sending the family away automatically is not person-centered unless directed by the nurse or care plan.
