A newly born infant with an apgar assessment of 5 has made no respiratory efforts despite continuous stimulation. The actions the nurse would prioritize are:
Start resuscitation whenever the infant's pulse reaches 100 beats per minute.
Keep up the resuscitation until the baby is breathing normally.
Continue CPR until the baby's tongue turns pink.
Continually perform CPR while supporting the parents.
<h3>What is apgar assessment?</h3>
A short test called the Apgar is run on a newborn at 1 and 5 minutes following birth. How well the infant tolerated labor and delivery is assessed after one minute. The 5-minute score reveals to the medical professional how well the infant is progressing outside of the mother's womb. Rarely, the test will be performed ten minutes after birth.
Cultural assimilation is the process in which a minority group or culture comes to resemble a dominant group or assume the values, behaviors, and beliefs of another group.
