Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

• COPD is a reduction in total lung capacity
• It's NOT an increase in airflow through the respiratory tract

Pneumonia of Staphylococcus Aureus

• Lung abscess and pleural empyema are complications
• It's NOT a common form of hospital-acquired pneumonia
• It's NOT an environmentally acquired type of pneumonia
• Risk factors include diabetes, COPD, and kidney disease.

Lung Cancer Types

• Adenocarcinoma does NOT show intercellular bridges and horn pearls
• Small cell lung cancer IS indeed chemosensitive.
• Squamous cell lung cancers show intracellular mucus production.
• Carcinoid IS a benign tumor.
