🔍 Key Concepts

• Normal adult breathing rate at rest • How rescue breathing compares to normal breathing • Why breathing "as fast as possible" can be harmful

💭 Think About

• First recall the typical resting breaths per minute for a healthy adult. Is it closer to the lower or higher options? • Consider whether artificial respiration should closely mimic normal breathing or be much faster/slower. • Think about what could happen to the lungs and circulation if breaths are given too rapidly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare each choice to the normal adult rate and eliminate anything that is clearly too fast. • Ask: which rate allows enough time for the chest to rise and fall fully between breaths? • Rule out any option that sounds unsafe or extreme, rather than controlled and steady.
