  4. Nutritional status
2.  Which of the following best describes how COPD impacts function and quality of life (QOL)?
  1. COPD only affects lung function and has little impact on daily activities.
  2. COPD causes persistent dyspnea, fatigue, and reduced exercise capacity, which limit daily activities and QOL.

  2. Alternate nostril breathing
  3. Pursed-lip breathing
  4. Diaphragm resistance
5.  What is one way that occupational and physical therapists support COPD patients with treatment interventions?
  1. Prescribing inhaled medications
  2. Teaching ventilator management
