Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for an adult patient with a respiratory rate of 32 breaths/minute. Which term will the nurse use to document this finding in the patient's chart?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct term to document a respiratory rate of 32 breaths/minute is C: Tachypnea. Tachypnea refers to an abnormally rapid breathing rate, which is typically more than 20 breaths per minute in adults. In this case, the patient's respiratory rate of 32 breaths/minute falls within the range of tachypnea. Bradypnea (
A) is the opposite of tachypnea and refers to an abnormally slow breathing rate. Apnea (
B) is the absence of breathing. Eupnea (
D) is the term used to describe normal, unlabored breathing. In summary, tachypnea is the most appropriate term to document a respiratory rate of 32 breaths/minute, as it signifies a rapid breathing rate compared to normal.
