Carbon dioxide is exhaled and oxygen is inhaled through the respiratory system, which includes muscles to move air into and out of the lungs, passageways through which air moves, and microscopic gas exchange surfaces covered by capillaries.

The body attempts to compensate when changes occur due to illness or injury, but problematic symptoms might require urgent intervention. Understanding respiratory system disorders, oxygenation, and perfusion is crucial for effective nursing care. Nursing assessment allows for close monitoring of respiratory issues in patients.
