| 1 | Eupnea refers to normal rate, depth, and rhythm of respirations. Normal adult rate is 14 to 20 breaths/min. |
| 2 | Dyspnea is difficulty breathing. |
| 3 | Bradypnea is a respiratory rate below normal. |
| 4 | Tachypnea is an increase in rate above normal. |

| 1 | Pursed-lip breathing is not most often seen in patients diagnosed with asthma. |
| 2 | Pursed-lip breathing is not most often seen in patients diagnosed with pneumonia. |
| 3 | Pursed-lip breathing, or physiological positive end-expiratory pressure, is a compensatory mechanism used by people with COPD to prolong expiration, help expel trapped air, and keep alveoli open longer for maximum oxygenation of pulmonary blood. |
| 4 | Pursed-lip breathing is not most often seen in patients diagnosed with cor pulmonale. |
