I agree with your post that the Hispanic patient values the family unit. The oldest male does have the power in the family and control’s the decision making (Carteret‚ 2011). My husband is Hispanic and is the male in his family that makes all the decisions. I grew up with no father or male influence in my life. Personally‚ it has taken an adjustment for this line of thinking for myself‚ but I have pointed out to my husband that he is living in America now and he could adopt American ways. In

EMPHYSEMA (CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE) EMPHYSEMA -is a condition of the lung characterized by abnormal‚ permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole‚ accompanied by destruction of their walls. This over-inflation results from a breakdown of the walls of the alveoli‚ which causes a decrease in respiratory function and breathlessness. In emphysema‚ the lungs loose elasticity and are unable to fully expand and contract. This occurs

Asthma and emphysema are both known as obstructive lung diseases. Obstructive lung disease occurs when the airway is obstructed and is worse with expiration. For example‚ more force is required to exhale and emptying the lungs is slowed (Huether & McCance‚ 2012‚ p. 689).

Emphysema is known as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‚ which gradually damages the alveoli‚ also known as air sacs‚ in the lungs. The damage to the air sacs‚ makes it difficult to breath‚ because the body does not get all the oxygen to function properly. According to the article‚ Emphysema‚ when a person has the disease‚ "the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and eventually rupture — creating one larger air space instead of many small ones... this reduces the surface area of the lungs

Emphysema describes a loss of elasticity within the lungs‚ enlargement of the alveoli and the destruction of the alveolar walls. There are two types of emphysema: centriacinar and panacinar. Centriacinar emphysema‚ most common form of emphysema‚ affects the center of the respiratory lobule‚ such as the bronchioles‚ which is where a majority of the alveolar ducts and sacs are located. This form of emphysema is predominately seen in smokers‚ especially male smokers. Panacinar emphysema is most commonly

Interstitial lung disease covers a variety of lung conditions that cause thickening of the interstitium (lace-like network of tissue) around the alveoli of the lung‚ and is a category distinct from the obstructive airway diseases. The thickening can be due to inflammation‚ scarring‚ or extra fluid (edema). Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be an acute‚ chronic‚ short-lived‚ or irreversible condition. All forms of ILD involve fibrosis (thickening and scarring of connective tissue). The scarring
