Newborn with Apgar score calculation, heart rate 120/min, slow/weak cry, some extremity flexion, grimace to suctioning, body pink with blue extremities
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn and calculating the Apgar score. At 1 minute after delivery, the following findings are noted: heart rate of 120/min, slow and 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.

2-month-old infant brought to the emergency room
Question 4 of 5
A 2-month-old infant is brought to the emergency room. Which factor should lead the RN to suspect that the child may have experienced abusive head trauma?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Retinal hemorrhages are strongly associated with abusive head trauma due to shearing forces during shaking or impact, rupturing retinal blood vessels. This is a hallmark of non-accidental trauma in infants, unlike sunken fontanels (dehydration), bruises (non-specific), or lacerations (accidental or other abuse).

Question 5 of 5
Which task is most appropriate for the nurse to delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel on a pediatric unit?
