after cleaning her dusty closet. You are seeing her for a home visit because she was just discharged
from the hospital for exacerbation of her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). She had
similar symptoms approximately a week and a half ago from an exacerbation of her COPD. Mrs. Jones
past medical history is significant for coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, COPD,
hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, tobacco usage, and obesity. You heard wheezing on
expiration when you auscultated her chest. The patient has two metered dose inhalers (MDI) prescribed
