The nurse is providing discharge education to a client newly diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). the client states "i have always enjoyed exercising with my friends, but i guess i won't be doing that anymore." how will the nurse best respond to promote optimal nutrition and exercise for this client?

COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is an inflammatory lung disease causing obstructed airflow in the lungs. The 2 conditions contributing to COPD would be Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema.There are treatments to this sickness yet having a balanced diet,being active and avoiding the triggers would be of big help thus the nurse can inform the client to promote optimal nutrition and exercise is to just eat a well balanced diet including vegetables and doing exercise but not too vigorous like simple walking for 10 minutes.

Ur very welcome for
