Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Apgar scale is a quick test performed on a newborn at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. The test scores five criteria on a scale from 0 to 2, then sums up the five values to obtain the Apgar score. The criteria assessed are Appearance (skin color), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace response (reflexes), Activity (muscle tone), and Respiration (breathing rate and effort). This score helps to determine whether a newborn needs immediate medical care.
