What do we call the breathing process, consisting of one inspiration and one expiration?

Responsibility
Resuscitation
Respiration
Resident's Bill of Rights

The correct answer is: Respiration

The correct answer is "Respiration" because this term specifically refers to the complete cycle of inhaling (inspiration) and exhaling (expiration) air, which is crucial for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Understanding respiration is fundamental for a CNA, as it relates to monitoring a patient's breathing and ensuring they receive adequate oxygen. The other options, while related to healthcare or patient rights, do not define the breathing process: "Responsibility" pertains to obligations and duties, "Resuscitation" refers to actions taken to revive someone who is not breathing, and "Resident's Bill of Rights" outlines the rights of individuals living in care facilities but is unrelated to the mechanics of breathing.
