Question 1 of 5
A nurse observes 5 minutes after delivery that a newborn has a pink trunk and head, bluish hands and feet, and a heart rate of 130/min. He has flexed extremities and a weak, slow cry. The nurse should document what Apgar score for this infant?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct Apgar score for this infant is B: 6. The Apgar score assesses a newborn's overall condition at 1 and 5 minutes after birth based on five criteria: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration. In this case, the baby has a pink trunk and head (2 points), bluish hands and feet (1 point), a heart rate of 130/min (2 points), flexed extremities (2 points), and a weak, slow cry (1 point). Adding these points together, the Apgar score is 2+1+2+2+1=8. Since the Apgar score ranges from 0 to 10, a score of 6 indicates that the infant may need some assistance but is generally in good condition. Other choices are incorrect because they do not add up correctly based on the described criteria.
