MARYVILLE NURS 612 EXAM 2 LATEST
VERSION WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS/A+
GRADE
normal respirations - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-rate between 12 to 20/min; ratio of resp to
heart beats= 1:4; pt should breathe easily, regularly w/o apparent distress; pattern
should be even, not too shallow or too deep
hypopnea - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-term for abnormally shallow respirations
tachypnea - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-term for resp rate greater than 20, but consistent
and may occur during hyperventilation; often a symptom of pain
, bradypnea - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-term for resp rate less than 12; may indicate
neurologic or electrolyte disturbances, infection, or conscious response to protect
