1. Identify spirometry equipment and testing techniques used to
perform pulmonary function testing.
2. Recognize normal and abnormal spirometry results.

beginning your work this week.
Background
Pulmonary function testing is a great tool that can provide
valuable diagnostic and treatment information about the
respiratory system. Various measurements are available to aid
in the diagnosis and assessment of pulmonary diseases;
determine the need for therapy; and evaluate the effectiveness
of respiratory care. For respiratory therapists, knowledge of
these tests and the ability to interpret the measurements are
essential for assessing patients objectively and for planning and
implementing effective patient care.
Prompt
Provide detailed responses to the following:
1. Pulmonary function tests measure lung functions in many
ways. Define the following terms:
1. Tidal volume (VT)
2. Minute volume (MV)
3. Vital capacity (VC)
4. Forced vital capacity (FVC)
5. Forced expiratory volume (FEV)
6. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)
7. Flow volume loop
8. Total lung capacity (TLC)
9. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)
2. What is the FEV1% and what does it tell us about the
patient's pulmonary status in the presence of a decreased FEV1?
3. Which measure of pulmonary function is the most definitive

2. in distinguishing a pulmonary restrictive disorder from an
obstructive disorder and why?
4. A patient’s bedside spirometry results (as compared to
normal) are as follows:
· FVC decreased
· FEV1 normal
· FEV1% increased.
What is the most likely general diagnosis?
Submit your answers in at least 500 words on a Word document.
You must cite at least three references in APA format to defend
and support your position.

Conclusion
The conclusion puts the previous parts of the paper together in a
logical way, demonstrating a clear stance towards a solution for
the scenario in the case study. The analysis provided supports
the idea of developing an ecotourism based product that should
be well managed and remains sustainable, preventing peripheral
economic and socio-cultural damage.

Feedback comments
Ther seems to be quite a lot of effort put into writing this essay;
many of the sentences were logicl, relevant and it is clear you
have tried to explain things to put forth a strong argument.
There was however, a few discussions that seemed rather
unnecessary, and that could have lengthened the entire essay.
The economic and socio-cultural impacts were not really
discussed much at all.
