مريض بعد ٦ أسابيع من برنامج التأهيل الرئوي يسأل عن الفائدة. أي فائدة مثبتة؟

After 6 weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation a client asks about its benefit. Which benefit is proven?

1. Better exercise capacity and less dyspnoea
2. Stopping preventer inhalers permanently
3. Full restoration of normal lung function tests
4. Reversing emphysema and the lung damage

Answer: A) Better exercise capacity and less dyspnoea. Pulmonary rehab (exercise, education, nutrition and psychological support) improves walking capacity, dyspnoea and mood and reduces admissions, but it does not reverse lung damage.
