Which shape should the nurse expect a client's chest to be when assessing a client who has COPD?

A. Pigeon chest (pectus carinatum) is a structural deformity of the chest and is not associated with COPD. B. A barrel chest is commonly seen in clients with COPD due to hyperinflation of the lungs, causing the chest to appear rounded and expanded. C. Kyphotic refers to an abnormal curvature of the spine (kyphosis) and is not a characteristic of COPD. D. Funnel chest (pectus excavatum) is another structural deformity and is not typically associated with COPD.
