Choose the correct abnormal respirations being described. A patient is having difficult and labored breathing. A patient’s respirations are quick and shallow, with a rate of 40 breaths per minute. The character of a patient’s respirations is noisy, and it sounds like fluid is in the airway. The patient’s skin, nail beds, and mouth are bluish in color. A patient has normal respirations when sitting up, but experiences difficulty breathing when lying down.
