Obstructive or Restrictive Lung Disease? (TMC Practice Question) | Respiratory Therapy Zone

Daily TMC Practice Questions 👉


—————


Your patient has an FEV1/FVC ratio that is lower than predicted. Her forced vital capacity is also lower than normal as well. What is the most likely cause of these findings?
A. A restrictive lung disease
B. An obstructive lung disease
C. Combined obstructive and restrictive lung disease
D. Normal test results

Let’s break this one down. The patient has a reduced FEV1/FVC ratio which certainly tells us that an obstructive disease is present.

BUT, they also have a reduced FVC as well. This tells us that they have a restrictive disease as well.

So combined, this patient has both an obstructive and restrictive disease. The correct answer is C. Combined obstructive and restrictive lung disease.
