Question 1 of 5
When performing the respiratory assessment, which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Deep respirations of 32/min. Deep respirations can indicate respiratory distress or hyperventilation, both of which are important findings in a respiratory assessment. Rapid deep respirations could suggest the body is compensating for an underlying issue. Periods of apnea (
A) are not normal and can be concerning for respiratory compromise. Paradoxic respirations (
B) where the chest moves inward during inspiration are associated with respiratory muscle fatigue or paralysis. Shallow respirations (
C) may indicate respiratory depression or inadequate oxygenation.
