Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restrictive lung diseases result in reduced lung expansion and decreased total lung volume, leading to increased shortness of breath during exercise or exertion. A cough and clear lung sounds may not be present in restrictive lung disease, and bradycardia is not a typical manifestation.
