Residents with COPD have trouble with:

  1. Balance

  2. Breathing

  3. Hearing

  4. Vision

The correct answer is: Balance

Residents with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) primarily experience difficulty with breathing. COPD affects the airways and air sacs in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, and wheezing. These respiratory issues make it challenging for individuals to effectively exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is the fundamental process needed for breathing. While balance, hearing, and vision can be affected in various ways by health conditions, they are not directly related to the primary challenges faced by residents with COPD. This highlights the importance of focusing on the primary impact of the disease, which centers around respiratory function.
