Answer :
The minute ventilation, calculated as the product of tidal volume and respiratory rate, for a person with a tidal volume of 3000 mL and 10 breaths per minute is 30 L/min. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: a. 30 L / minute
The question pertains to the calculation of minute ventilation, which is a product of the tidal volume and the respiratory rate. Minute ventilation is the amount of air exhaled in one minute of breathing.
To calculate minute ventilation:
Tidal Volume (VT): 3000 mL (or 3.0 L)
Respiratory Rate: 10 breaths per minute
Minute Ventilation = Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate
Minute Ventilation = 3000 mL/breath x 10 breaths/min = 30000 mL/min or 30 L/min
Therefore, the minute ventilation for a person with a tidal volume of 3000 mL and a respiratory rate of 10 breaths per minute is 30 L/min.
