A newborn with an Apgar score of 6 at 5 minutes
Question 1 of 5
A newborn has an Apgar score of 6 at 5 minutes. Which action would be the priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: beginning resuscitative measures. A low Apgar score at 5 minutes indicates the newborn is in distress and may require immediate intervention to support breathing and circulation. Starting resuscitative measures, such as providing positive pressure ventilation or chest compressions, is crucial to prevent further deterioration and improve the baby's chances of survival. Obtaining a blood culture (
A) can be important for identifying infections but is not as urgent as addressing the newborn's immediate needs. Promoting kangaroo care (
B) and initiating IV fluid therapy (
D) are beneficial interventions, but in this scenario, resuscitative measures should take precedence to stabilize the newborn's condition.
