Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As Mr. M ages, he may experience compromised pulmonary function due to the long-term effects of asthma on his lungs. This can lead to decreased lung capacity and difficulty breathing. It is important for him to continue proper management of his asthma to minimize the risk of complications. Option A is incorrect because complications can occur with long-term asthma. Option B is incorrect because having asthma actually increases the risk for pulmonary infections. Option C is also incorrect because asthma attacks may not necessarily decline as a person ages.
