Answer: d. Confounding

Explanation:

In the context of a scientific study such as this one, a confounding factor is one that has influence on both the exposure and event variable(s), which may lead to over- or underestimation of the direct relationship between them (if any).

For instance: In this example, researchers may have had reason to believe that male gender is associated with both higher risk of obesity (the exposure variable) and adult-onset asthma (the event variable). If gender is not taken into account, one may claim that the finding of an association between obesity and asthma is simply an artifact due to the high proportion of male patients (likely to present with both). <em>Controlling</em> for that variable (such as by matching, as in this example) allows researchers to test for this hypothesis.

Hatshy [7]

Respiratory rate increased from 16 to 19 breaths per minute is  vital signs during activity would be the best indicator that the client is tolerating mild exercise.

Your body utilizes more oxygen during exercise and creates more carbon dioxide when your muscles perform harder. Your breathing has to increase from about 15 times per minute while you are resting to about 40–60 times per minute while you are exercising in order to meet this additional requirement. To supply the body with oxygen more quickly, breathing rate rises. To more effectively get the oxygen (and glucose) to the breathing muscles, the heart rate increases. These procedures call for oxygen. Because of this, when an activity is completed, a person's respiration and pulse rate do not immediately return to normal. The oxygen debt is the quantity of oxygen needed to flush out the lactic acid and replenish the body's oxygen stores.
