question 20 of 20
which statement is true about both lung transplant and bullectomy?
both procedures treat clients with bullous emphysema.
both procedures treat end - stage emphysema.
both procedures cure copd.
both procedures improve the overall quality of life of a client with copd.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Bullectomy is used to treat bullous emphysema (removing bullae), and lung transplant can be for bullous emphysema cases too. But let's check others.
2. Analyze Option 2: Bullectomy is not for end - stage emphysema (lung transplant is more for end - stage in some cases), so this is wrong.
3. Analyze Option 3: COPD can't be cured by either procedure, so this is wrong.
4. Analyze Option 4: While both can improve quality of life, the key is the first option's accuracy about treating bullous emphysema. Bullectomy targets bullous emphysema, and lung transplant can be used for bullous emphysema patients. The fourth option is a bit general, but the first option is more specific to the conditions they treat. Wait, no—let's re - check. Bullectomy is for bullous emphysema (where there are large bullae), and lung transplant is an option for some with bullous emphysema. The statement "Both procedures treat clients with bullous emphysema" is true. The fourth option: does bullectomy improve quality of life? Yes, and lung transplant too. But the first option is about the specific condition they treat. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's recall: Bullous emphysema is a type of emphysema with large bullae. Bullectomy removes the bullae (treating bullous emphysema). Lung transplant can be used for patients with bullous emphysema (especially if severe). End - stage emphysema: bullectomy is not for end - stage (lung transplant is more for end - stage). So option 1 is correct.

Answer:

A. Both procedures treat clients with bullous emphysema.
