Question

The term COPD is defined by which of the following options?

• A. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
• B. Coutaneous Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
• C. Chronic Occlusive Pulmonary Disease.
• D. Chronic Obstructive Pediatric Disease.

Hint:

When deciphering medical acronyms, focus on the organ system involved. "Pulmonary" points directly to the lungs, helping you eliminate options that don't fit.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Break down the medical acronym COPD. Step 1: COPD is a very common medical abbreviation.

C stands for Chronic, meaning it is a long-term condition.
O stands for Obstructive, referring to the blockage of airflow.
P stands for Pulmonary, meaning it relates to the lungs.
D stands for Disease.
Step 2: Combine the terms and select the correct option.
Step 2: Assembling the parts gives "Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease." This matches option (A). The other options use incorrect words like "Coutaneous" (skin), "Occlusive" (blocked, but obstructive is the standard term), or "Pediatric" (children).
