Answer 1

Answer:

APGAR score is calculated based on a formula, where every letter stands for

1. Appearance (skin color)(PINK-Normal color=2, Normal but blue hand and feet= 1, Bluish grey= 0.)
2. Pulse (heart rate)(Over 100= 2, Below 100= 1, No Pulse= 0.)
3. Grimace response (reflexes)(Pulls away, sneezes, coughs, or cries with stimulation = 2, Facial movement only (grimace) with stimulation= 1, Absent= 0.)
4. Activity (muscle tone)(Active, spontaneous movement= 2, Arms and legs flexed with little movement= 1, No movement= 0)
5. Respiration (breathing rate and effort)(Normal rate and effort, good cry = 2, Slow or irregular breathing, weak cry = 1, Absent =0.)

1. The correct answer is A. 6.

Bluish skin tone= 1. Weak Cry = 1, Facial movement with some stimulation= 1, Good heart rate= 2, Muscle tone= 1.

Total= 5.

2. The correct answer is B. 9.

Normal skin tone= 2, Strong pulse= 2, Some muscle activity= 1, Strong breath= 2, Cries loudly when stimulated= 2.

Total= 9.

3. The correct answer is A.3.

Gray skin color= 0, Slow heart beat= 1, Slow irregular breath= 1, Semi decent pulse= 1, Limp reflexes= 0.

Total= 3.

4. The correct answer is D. 7.

Blue skin tone= 0, Slow irregular breath= 1, Strong reflexes= 2, Strong heart beat= 2, Strong motion=2.

Total= 7.
