Explanation by: Official MCQ Buddy

A newborn baby has a higher respiratory rate compared to adults. The normal respiratory rate for a just-born baby is typically around 30-60 breaths per minute, with an average of about 32 breaths per minute.

In contrast, adults usually have a respiratory rate of 12-20 breaths per minute. The higher rate in newborns is due to their higher metabolic rate and oxygen demand for growth and development.
