Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common smoking-related illness. COPD often is underemphasized as a comorbidity except when considering issues surrounding surgical treatment options.
This article aims to provide nurses with an overview of the pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment implications of COPD.
Definitions, differentials, and treatment considerations are provided, and clinical implications and resources are described.
The added burden of dyspnea, fatigue, and psychological distress related to COPD may affect the overall outcome and quality of life (QOL) of patients with lung cancer. Attention to the prevention, assessment, and treatment of lung cancer and COPD and related symptomatology will help maximize patients' QOL.

本文旨在为护士提供有关COPD药物和非药物治疗影响的概述。
提供了定义、鉴别诊断和治疗注意事项,并描述了临床意义和资源。
与COPD相关的呼吸困难、疲劳和心理困扰等额外负担可能会影响肺癌患者的总体结局和生活质量(QOL)。关注肺癌和COPD的预防、评估和治疗以及相关症状将有助于使患者的QOL最大化。
