Re: what is considered a normal respiratory rate

We were taught 12-24 in our school.

Re: what is considered a normal respiratory rate

I was taught 12-20. Sometimes I think Kaplan may have a mind of their own. For the most part people love them, but it seems like there are a few questions that MANY people disagree with. Plus those same questions go against what many nurses do on a daily basis.
