Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching an assistive personnel to measure a newborn's respiratory rate. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of why the respiratory rate should be counted for a complete minute?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because newborns have irregular breathing patterns, making it essential to count the respiratory rate for a full minute to capture the variability accurately. This ensures a more reliable assessment of the newborn's breathing status.
Choice A is incorrect because newborns do expand their lungs fully with each respiration.
Choice C is incorrect as activity may affect the rate temporarily but doesn't explain the need for a full minute count.
Choice D is incorrect because newborns are actually diaphragmatic breathers, not abdominal breathers.
