When measuring a patient's respiration, which of the following best describes the proper method a medical assistant should follow?
Measure how long it takes for three full respirations, then calculate the rate extrapolated to one minute.
Ask the patient to breathe in and out deeply while counting each breath for thirty seconds and then multiply by two to determine the respiratory rate.
Instruct the patient to count their breaths silently for one minute and report the number.
Observe the chest rise and fall for one full minute after measuring the pulse while keeping the patient unaware to avoid any alteration in their natural breathing pattern.
