When placing a bedpan, the wider end should be positioned at the patient's feet, while the narrower end should be positioned toward the head. This design allows for better comfort and ease of use for the patient. Additionally, ensuring proper placement helps prevent spills and enhances the patient's experience during use.

because elasticity of alveoli is diminished in patient with COPD therefore administering more than 4liters/minute will collapse alveoli and patient may die.
36 inches or approx 3 ft from the patient's face.
In an emergency, the maximum percentage of oxygen a COPD patient should typically receive is around 24-28%, often administered through a venturi mask. This is important because excessive oxygen can lead to carbon dioxide retention (hypercapnia) due to the patient's altered respiratory drive, potentially resulting in respiratory failure. Monitoring of oxygen saturation is crucial to ensure adequate oxygenation while preventing complications.
