D. is a 61-year-old female patient who complaints of pleuritic chest pain and
cough. During the history, she indicates that she occasionally has seen a little bit of blood in her sputum, but she thought it was from coughing so hard. What finally prompted her to come in was that she coughed up a “stone.” Recognizing that the patient might have broncholithiasis, the AGACNP asks about exposure to:
A.Cigarettes B. Asbestos C. Bird excrement D. Swimming pools
