Answer :
The minute ventilation of a person who takes a breath every 5 seconds and has a tidal volume of 500 mL is: d. 6000 mL/min.
- The minute ventilation of a person who takes a breath every 5 seconds and has a tidal volume of 500 mL can be calculated as follows:
Minute Ventilation = Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate x 60
- Given: Tidal Volume = 500 mL, Respiratory Rate = 5 seconds per breath
Minute Ventilation = 500 mL x (60 seconds / 5 seconds) x 60
Minute Ventilation = 6000 mL/min
