A patient has restrictive lung disease. In response to this, which of the following are typically found?
1. Decreased lung compliance
2. Increased ventilatory rate
3. Increased tidal volume
4. Decreased ventilatory rate
a. 3, 4
b. 2, 3
c. 1, 2
d. 1, 3, 4
C
Restrictive lung disorders result in an increase in lung rigidity, which in turn decreases lung compliance. When lung compliance decreases, the ventilatory rate increases and the tidal volume decreases.
