A minimum of three (3) current professional references must be provided. Current references include professional publications or valid and current websites dated within five (5) years. AIDitionally, a textbook that is no more than one (1) edition old may be used.
The paper will consist of four (4) parts and must be submitted by the close of week 6.
Parts 12, 2, and 3 will focus on a disease management issue for the patient with COPD and the role of the interdisciplinary team in this issue.
