Why should you give oxygen to someone with a respiratory rate at 22. EXPLAIN

I mean generally you shouldn't unless they're hypoxic

Explanation:

Generally you shouldn’t give oxygen based solely off of respiratory rate, while technically out of range a respiratory rate of 22 isn’t high enough to warrant supplemental oxygen on its own. Oxygen administration should be based on a combination of factors looking at the patients work of breathing, oxygen saturation, and current situation.

If your patient has a respiratory rate of 22, has a stable O2 sat (>94%), is still breathing normally with good depth, chest rise/fall, no noted cyanosis, and has no accessory muscle use you can withhold oxygen therapy.
