Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
DLCO and TLC are the most useful pulmonary function tests to evaluate the need of pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with restrictive lung disease. Patients in whom there is a significant re-strictive lung disease with a TLC of less than 80 of predicted and single-breath carbon monox-idediffusing capacity (DLCO) of less than 80 of predicted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Follow-up or reinforcement could be open-ended (available during regular rehabilitation sessions and offering open attendance) or could be scheduled weekly, monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly. The important thing is to have some type of follow-up available.
