The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
BNP helps distinguish cardiac from pulmonary dyspnea — BNP > 400 = likely HF
⚠
COPD + HF overlap is common — treat both simultaneously
⚠
Non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP) for COPD exacerbation with respiratory acidosis
⚠
Systemic corticosteroids (prednisone 40mg x 5 days) for COPD exacerbation
⚠
Must reassess inhaler technique and medication adherence at every visit
