The '''respiratory rate''' is the number of the breaths in one minute or 16.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/07/respiratory-rate/ Nurse Suspended for Consistently Charting Respiratory Rate of 16]</ref> Every '''respiratory rate''' documented in the history of medicine has been 16, so everyone's respiratory rate is 16. Nothing more. Nothing less. 16. So grab a watch, look at the patient breathing, don't count, just be reassured that it will be 16.
