  1. Using the following lung volumes, calculate this persons FEV1 / FVC ratio. What this person's pulmonary function be clinically classified: normal, obstructive, or restricted?

               TLC = 5.2 L

                FVC = 3.8

                TV = 0.5 L

                ERV = 1.1 L

                IRV = 2.2 L

                This person forcefully expired 2.4 L in one second. according to reference material, normal VC for this person is 3.6 L.
