Tenacious, translucent, and grayish white sputum is associated with COPD. Purulent and foul-smelling sputum is associated with a lung abscess. Greenish, thick sputum is associated with a lung infection. Red, frothy sputum is associated with pulmonary edema or left-sided heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

The nurse must assess and consider what acne means to a person. Most patients acknowledge that acne affects their self-image.
