Which of the following signs of respiratory distress is typically unique to infants and children?

  1. Irregular breathing pattern

  2. Seesaw respirations

  3. Unequal breath sounds

  4. Unequal chest expansion

The correct answer is: Irregular breathing pattern

Infants and children often exhibit an irregular breathing pattern as a unique sign of respiratory distress. Unlike adults, who may show signs such as seesaw respirations, unequal breath sounds, or unequal chest expansion, irregular breathing is more commonly seen in pediatric patients experiencing respiratory distress. This irregular pattern can include periods of apnea, rapid breathing, or other abnormal breathing rhythms, highlighting the importance of recognizing this distinctive sign in younger patients.
