Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counting respiratory rate is the appropriate action during the breathing assessment, as it is a vital sign that provides important information about the patient's respiratory status. Assessing for edema, checking for foreign bodies, and monitoring for respiratory distress are also important nursing actions but are not specific to the breathing assessment during the primary survey.
