Spend a couple of hours trying to navigate your daily schedule while breathing through a straw and pulling a rolling suitcase (simulate an oxygen tank). Create a daily schedule for one weekday and discuss how having COPD would impact those activities. Further, you will have to imagine what it would be like if you experienced a tank malfunction

• Imagine what a day would be like if you had COPD and had to take an oxygen tank with you everywhere you went.
• How would that affect what you do every day?

Special instructions: “In the United States, the two conditions considered to be COPD are emphysema and chronic bronchitis.  When you have COPD, it is hard to breathe (like breathing through a straw) and it gets worse over time. In this assignment, you will empathetically explore how difficult, inconvenient, and embarrassing it might be to carry an oxygen tank everywhere. Your challenge is to spend a couple of hours trying to navigate your daily schedule while breathing through a straw and pulling a rolling suitcase (simulate an oxygen tank). You will create a daily schedule for one weekday and discuss how having COPD would impact those activities. Further, you will have to imagine what it would be like if you experienced a tank malfunction.” (You do not worry with the schedule, as I will be doing it.)

To the writer: On the essay, if you could please write an essay following these questions below based on the simulation exercise I indicated above, so you can empathetically can write a good one.

What would you do? What plans and procedures would you need to be in place in case of an emergency? Keep in mind, that even if your tank if functioning well, it is still difficult to breathe.
