Awesome job my friend

Answer to Question 2

Oxygen for a client diagnosed with COPD should be low flow so as not to diminish the client's drive to breath. Fluids are encouraged, and activities should be interspersed with rest periods so the client will not become overtired. Isolation is not necessary at this time.
