- - - - Walking with Assistive Device to aid in Energy Conservation and assist with breathing until increased tolerance/endurance
      - Patient will perform ambulation for increasing distances/time depending on fatigue. She will be encouraged to make regular trips to and from the bathroom/around her room for increased independence/mobility
  - - - Deep Breathing Exercises
        
        Incentive Spirometry
        
        Paced Breathing
        
        Diaphragmatic Breathing
      - Co treatment with Respiratory Care
    - - Large Muscle Groups with 8-10 reps/1-2 sets with increasing sets to tolerance at 50-70% 1RM
        
        Glute Bridges
        
        SLR

        Mini-Squats
        
        Hip Adduction
  - - - For treatment of the pleural effusion the patient will be instructed to regularly change position as the maintained pressure acting on the fluid is likely to result in the development of Atelectasis
      - Patient will be instructed on the importance of changing positioning in bed to reduce the risk of developing pressure sores/skin ulcerations from prolonged imobility
