What Is The Prognosis For A 90 Year Old Man With COPD?
what is the prognosis for a 90 year old man with COPD
I am giving him two weeks in skilled nursing with reassessment at that time, I have also spoken with hospice. His doctors are very vague but I feel it is a short life expectancy at this time under the best case scenario

Hi. I can understand your concern.
He might benefit from rehabilitation sessions. Home rehab sessions are also available which may help him improve quality of life.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
