Which order would the respiratory function change in a patient
diagnosed with COPD? Correct order
COPD causes the patient to retain carbon dioxide
(CO2).
Blood levels of carbon dioxide
(CO2) and oxygen
(O2) become abnormal.
The body adapts to long-term higher levels of carbon dioxide
(CO2).
Low levels of blood oxygen (O2) become the trigger to
breathe.
Oxygen can shut off the adaptive mechanism to breathe.
