Trachypnea D. Orthopnea C. Trachypnea - Rationale: A rapid respiratory rate‚ which is consistent with Josh’s rate of 36. Normal respiratory rate for a school-aged child is 16-30 breaths per minute. Because of Josh’s dyspnea‚ the nurse is concerned that he may need to receive oxygen.

cavity result in changes in the air pressure within that cavity & in the lungs. This difference in air pressure causes the movement of air into and out of the lungs. Air moves from an area where pressure is high to an area where pressure is lower. Respiratory muscles are responsible for the changes in the shape of the thoracic cavity that causes the air movements involved in breathing. Inspiration occurs when the chest cavity enlarges. As the thorax enlarges‚ the lungs expand along with it‚ and the
