5 0

Answer:

5

Explanation:

The Apgar ( Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration) score is a test used to evaluate new born babies. There are five simple evaluating criteria on the scale from zero to two, and the final result is the summing up the scores of the five criteria.

The five criteria are: skin color, pulse rate, reflex irritability grimace, muscle tone and respiratory effort.

The baby would receive 1 point in each of the five categories. Thus the final score would be 5. O points are given when the baby does not comply with any of the criteria and 2 points are given for perfect compliance.

what is the best possible way to verify claims a manufacturer makes about a supplements safety and effectiveness
aniked [119]

The best possible way to verify claims a manufactures makes about a supplement's safety and effectiveness would be to go to the manufactures website and look at the reviews, research the studies behind their product and ask around. Since supplements are usually regulated by the FDA, manufacturers are basically given the "honor system" to provide accurate information to consumers. Doing your own research will help immensely. If you ever see something on a supplement(s) that says, "This statement has not been verified by the Food and Drug Administration", I would take it at my own risk.
