COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a progressive lung disorder characterized by persistent airflow limitation, primarily due to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, with smoking as the main risk factor. Symptoms include chronic cough, dyspnea, and fatigue, with management focusing on smoking cessation, pulmonary rehabilitation, and oxygen therapy in advanced cases. Nursing care involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, and educating patients on self-management strategies.
