The respiratory rate is a very important tool through which it is possible to recognise early signs of deterioration of a patient (Philip‚ Richardson & Maurice Cohen 2013‚ p. 570). Despite this‚ there is an increasing amount of cases in which healthcare professionals‚ nurses in particular‚ do not routinely assess and document this important vital sign correctly (Massey & Meredith 2010‚ p. 538). This essay will discuss the reasons why healthcare professionals are likely to omit assessing and documenting

The objective of the mealworm experiment was to see if the mealworms would gain weight in either peat moss or wheat germ. The experiment included weighing Mealworm A and Mealworm B before putting Mealworm A in wheat germ and Mealworm B in peat moss both for 7 days. After a week they were weighed again and Mealworm A had lost weight and Mealworm B had gained . This concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected since only Mealworm B gained weight. Introduction The mealworm is not a worm. It is

Research Question How Does Increasing the Intensity of Exercise Affect Respiratory Rate? Hypothesis My experiment will involve sprinting which is a very demanding and fatiguing sport. In order to increase the intensity of it‚ I will be increasing the weight the subject has to carry as he sprints. My hypothesis is that as you increase the weight‚ the respiratory rate will also increase. At rest‚ the average breathing rate for adults is 12-24 breaths per minute and for new born babies it is 30-60

skill.” In reference to this I will be concentrating on the measuring of respiration rates‚ as well as focusing on rate‚ rhythm and volume of each breath. RATIONALE + 100 WORDS Developing the ability to measure and record respiration rates accurately is an important fundamental skill to obtain competency in accordance to indication of patient physiological health in accordance to Castledine (2006) Respirations rates are vital observations that are either miss-interpreted or missed altogether by staff

How exercise affects some of these homeostatic factors can be determined by measuring‚ observing and monitoring certain parameters. For the purpose of this study‚ the factors in which I had to look at included temperature‚ pulse rate and breathing (respiration) rate. In doing the experiment‚ I will be able to see firsthand the effects exercise has placed on the body i.e. deeper breathing and thereby will provide me with a general picture of how the body works and reacts in conjunction with exercise

Mealworms eating Potatoes Report What will gain mass? What will lose mass? What color did the BTB change? What are atoms moving from? Where are they moving to? I predicted that the potato would lose mass‚ and the mealworms would gain mass. I predicted that the BTB would lose mass. My last prediction was that the atoms are moving from the potato and into the mealworms. Steps for our procedure: 1.)Get container deep enough so mealworms can’t crawl out‚ with holes for them to breathe. 2.)Record container

Expiratory reserve volume decreased due to the rapid increase in breath rate. Normal resting breath rate is at an average 11.6 breaths per minute increased to 27 breaths per minute after exercise. The increase in BR causes expiration length to go below its normal 3 second interval. Therefore decreasing ERV by .6 Liters. Inspiratory reserve volume decreased due to the rapid increase in breath rate. Normal resting breath rate is at an average 11.6 breaths per minute increased to 27 breaths per minute

Respiratory Rate and Tidal Volume [pic] The total amount of air moved in and out of the lungs each minute (pulmonary ventilation) depends upon 2 factors: size of each breath (tidal volume) and number of breaths/minute (respiratory rate). For example‚ suppose your tidal volume is 500 mL (0.5 liters) and you breathe 15 times/minute. Your pulmonary ventilation = 15 breaths/min x 0.5 L/breath = 7.5 L/min. Pulmonary Ventilation = (Respiratory rate; breaths per minute) x Pulmonary Ventilation
