Maternal NCLEX Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is doing a one-minute Apgar score on a newborn and tells the parents that it is 7 points. When the parents ask what this means, how should the nurse best respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This response is best because a score of 7 to 10 is within a normal range and 并表示新生儿没有任何不适的迹象。A score of 7 to 10 is considered acceptable for a one-minute Apgar. However, when the scoring is repeated at 5 minutes of age, a score of 7 to 10, not just 10, is within normal range. The Apgar score is used to systematically assess an infant at one and five minutes after birth to determine if immediate care is necessary. It is not used to predict intelligence or neurological development. Although the Apgar score does mean that the newborn’s VS are WNL, the Apgar score is not designed to classify gestational age.
