✓ Correct answer: C. Newborn infant In newborn infants, a respiratory rate of 30-60 breaths per minute is considered normal. For adults, normal respiratory rates range from 12-20 breaths per minute, while school-age children typically have rates of 18-30 breaths per minute. A rate of 36 would be abnormally high for an adult but within normal range for a newborn.
