With emphysema, the heart rate will increase as the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>heart tries to compensate for less oxygen to the tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barrel chest is correct. Clients with emphysema lose lung elasticity; the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>diaphragm becomes permanently flattened by hyperinflation of the lungs; the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>muscles of the rib cage become rigid; and the ribs flare outward. This produces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the barrel chest typical of emphysema clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clubbing of the fingers is correct.

The tips of the fingers enlarge and the nails become extremely<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>curved from front to back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep respirations is incorrect.
