What is a non-drug treatment option for COPD?

  1. Antibiotics

  2. Smoking cessation

  3. Beta-2 agonists

  4. PDE-4 inhibitors

The correct answer is: Smoking cessation

Smoking cessation is the correct answer because it is a non-drug treatment option for COPD. Smoking cessation is crucial in managing COPD as smoking is the leading cause of the disease and quitting smoking can help slow down the progression of the condition and improve symptoms. Antibiotics (Choice A), Beta-2 agonists (Choice C), and PDE-4 inhibitors (Choice D) are drug treatment options for COPD, not non-drug treatment options. Antibiotics may be used in COPD exacerbations with bacterial infections, Beta-2 agonists are bronchodilators commonly used in COPD management, and PDE-4 inhibitors are a newer class of drugs approved for managing COPD.
