Feedback:
A throat culture may be done within a matter of hours to rule out the presence of streptococci. The pulmonary function test (PFT) measures how much air a client inhales (inspiration) and exhales (expiration) in one breath and assesses the client's general respiratory status. Bronchoalveolar lavage is most often used to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis. Sputum specimens help determine the presence of organisms or blood in a person's sputum.
