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.

OLEGan [10]
<span>Septic tanks rely on microorganisms to decontaminate the water. These are usually made of concrete and fiberglass with an in-out pipe system. These septic tanks are important in the septic system where sewage is treated naturally by holding its contents long enough for solids and liquids to separate. These things can only be found in areas that lack connection to main sewage pipes that the government had provided. They could be found built in suburbs, small towns, and rural areas and are not suitable for densely built cities. </span>
