For assessing the patient this is what one should do:
- Explain to the patient what you are about to do – even if the patient is unconscious.
- Ensure the patient is comfortable.
- Make sure the patient is as relaxed as possible.
- Observe if the patient is distressed in any way.
- It is best to monitor and record the respiration's immediately after taking the pulse – this will aid in a more accurate recording, as the patient will not be aware that you are observing respiration's. Awareness that respiration's are being recorded can make people alter their breathing.
- Observe the rise and fall of the chest (inspiration and expiration) - this counts as one breath.
- The respiration's should be counted for a full minute in order to have an accurate recording.
- Note the pattern of breathing and the depth of the breaths.
- Document your findings on the patientÂ’s observation chart, note any changes and report to the medical team.
- Before leaving ensure the patient is comfortable.

What are similarities between cellular respiration and respiration?
To tell you the truth they are not similar at all. They have nothing to do with each other. I guess the way they work secrete or take in can be compared but they are different processes. Cellular respiration is when we humans take in oxygen and glucose(food). We use the glucose to carry out many of cell activities which is transferred through our blood and dilivered to our cells. Glucose is then converted to ATP energy by the mitochondria(mitochondria plural). ATP is the cells source of energy. The role that oxygen plays is the combination of oxygen(o2) and glucose which makes water(h2o) which is also used by our cells. A waste would be the carbon dioxide made which is excreted and used by plants for photosynthesis. I guess the thing that might relate would be that to get the oxygen, you need your resperatory system.
