Question

The number of times a person breathes in ............ is termed as the breathing rate.

• A. A minute
• B. Two minutes
• C. Four minutes
• D. Three minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is A A minute

The respiration rate (RR) or breathing rate is the rate (frequency) of ventilation, that is, the number of breaths (inhalation-exhalation cycles) taken within a set amount of time (typically 60 seconds). A normal respiratory rate is termed eupnea, an increased respiratory rate is termed tachypnea and a lower-than-normal respiratory rate is termed bradypnea.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
