Question 1 of 5
The nurse is completing the 1-minute Apgar assessment on the full-term newborn. The newborn’s HR is 80 bpm. What should the nurse do next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A newborn HR of less than 100 bpm scores as a 1 on the HR criterion and indicates a need to begin positive pressure ventilation by bag mask or Neopuff® ventilation. A score of 2 requires HR above 100 bpm. Suctioning is not indicated and wrapping is done after assessment.
