The infant has apgar scores of 7 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes. what is the indication of this assessment finding?

1 answer:

8 0

An infant may have had birthing complications that reduced the amount of oxygen in her blood if her Apgar score ranges from 7 at 1 minute to 9 at 5 minutes. In this situation, the hospital nurses will most likely vigorously dry her with a towel while holding oxygen under her nose.

<h3>What are Apgar scores?</h3>

The Apgar score is a recognized and practical way to report on the newborn baby's condition right after birth and their reaction to resuscitation, if necessary. One's particular neonatal mortality or neurologic prognosis cannot be predicted by the Apgar score alone, nor can it be regarded as a result of suffocation. It should also not be utilized to do so. An infant's spontaneous breathing score and the Apgar score given after resuscitation are not the same thing. An enhanced Apgar score reporting form that takes into account concurrent resuscitative treatments is encouraged by both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

First we need to have same units before comparing them. That is, either both of them are in cm or both of them are in mm. So if we need to convert 12.5 cm to mm, we know that 1 cm =10 mm. So we have to find out how many mm are in 12.5 cm. And let 12.5 cm =x mm. So to find the value of x , we set a proportion and solve for x. That is

$\frac{1cm}{10mm}=\frac{12.5cm}{x mm}$
