A．frequent bowel sounds.
B．heart rate greater than 100 beats/minute
C．hyperventilation.
D．respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths/minute
答案
参考答案：D
解析：A respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths/minute is tachypnea. A heart rate greater than 100 beats/minute is tachycardia. Frequent bowel sounds refers to hyperactive bowel sounds. Hyperventilation may increase respirations, but it also refers to deep, large breaths.
