Depending on the specific needs of the participants, program objectives can include the follow-ing: development of diaphragmatic breathing skills; development of stress management and re-laxation techniques; involvement in a daily physical exercise regimen to condition both skeletal and respiratory-related muscles; adherence to proper hygiene, diet, and nutrition; smoking cessa-tion (if applicable); proper use of medications, oxygen, and breathing equipment (if applicable); application of airway clearance techniques (when indicated); focus on group support; and provi-sions for individual and family counseling.

Answer to Question 2

Such a program should be based on the individual needs and expectations of each patient. Not only each patient's physical ability must be considered, but also his or her education, past expe-rience, aptitude, and personality must be considered as well.
