For COPD exacerbation with increased sputum purulence and volume, what is a recommended consideration?

  1. Starting Bupropion

  2. Increasing NRT dosage

  3. Using antibiotics

  4. Halting bronchodilator treatment

The correct answer is: Using antibiotics

For COPD exacerbation with increased sputum purulence and volume, the recommended consideration is using antibiotics. Antibiotics are indicated in cases of COPD exacerbation with increased sputum purulence and volume to target the underlying bacterial infection that may be contributing to the exacerbation. Bupropion is used for smoking cessation, not for treating COPD exacerbations. Increasing Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) dosage may not address the root cause of the exacerbation. Halting bronchodilator treatment is not recommended as bronchodilators play a crucial role in managing COPD symptoms by helping to relax the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe.
