week 4 Neuro educational response about asthma
This what other student posted, I need to respond to him from an educational stand point. I need your response to be about BREATHING EXERCISES, DIET AND REGULAR EXERCISE and how this can benefit the patient physically and mentally. The post should have an
educational component that promotes adherence to treatment, describes non-pharmacologic management, and/or reduces health risk.
