Question

question 21 (2 points) what is the normal adult respiratory rate at rest? 10 - 16 bpm 12 - 18 bpm 14 - 20 bpm 16 - 22 bpm question 22 (2 points) hypoactive bowel sounds may suggest: diarrhea bowel obstruction peritonitis gastroenteritis

Explanation:

For Question 21, the normal adult respiratory rate at rest is typically 12 - 18 breaths per minute (bpm). This is a standard physiological value. For Question 22, hypoactive bowel sounds can be a sign of peritonitis. Peritonitis can cause decreased bowel motility and thus hypoactive sounds, while diarrhea usually has hyperactive sounds, bowel obstruction may have high - pitched tinkling or absent sounds in late stages, and gastroenteritis often has hyperactive or normal bowel sounds depending on the stage.

Answer:

Question 21: B. 12 - 18 bpm
Question 22: C. Peritonitis
