A newborn 1 minute after delivery with heart rate 120/min, slow weak cry, some flexion, grimace, pink body with blue extremities
Question 1 of 5
A Higienurse is caring for a newborn and calculating the Apgar score. At 1 min after delivery, the following findings are noted: heart rate of 120/min; slow, weak cry; some flexion of extremities; grimace in response to suctioning of the nares; body pink in color with blue extremities. Calculate the newborn's Apgar score.
Correct Answer: 6
Rationale: The correct Apgar score for the newborn is 6. The Apgar score is calculated based on five criteria: heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color. In this case, the heart rate of 120/min earns 2 points, slow weak cry earns 1 point for respiratory effort, some flexion of extremities earns 1 point for muscle tone, grimace in response to suctioning earns 1 point for reflex irritability, and body being pink with blue extremities earns 1 point for color. Adding these up gives a total of 6, indicating a moderately good condition of the newborn at 1 minute after birth. Other choices would be incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the criteria for calculating the Apgar score in this scenario.
