Let's Diagnose Them, Lab 5: Lung Capacity

by: Nicole H. Maller

In this chapter, all four patients are experiencing difficulty breathing. Students will determine the lung capacity of each patient using a spirometer, which requires the patient to exhale deeply in order to determine if diseases such as asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis are compromising the respiratory system. Students are asked to take a peek at class notes to refresh their memory of lung capacity. For more information on how to implement the activities discussed here, please see the Teacher Edition.
