Answer: The two vital signs the medical team is concerned about are:

1. MUSCLE TONE

2. REFLEX IRRITABILITY

Explanation:

What does APGAR stand for, and what does it measure?

When the scoring system was put into common use, medical professionals created an acronym using Apgar’s last name, so that each criterion included in the assessment would be easier to remember. The five criteria assessed in the Apgar score are:

A – Appearance (skin color)

This is an evaluation of the baby’s skin color. The medical team measures if the baby blue or pale all over, blue at the extremities, or pink all over.

P – Pulse (heart rate)

During this evaluation, the medical team measures if the baby’s heart rate is absent, slow (<100 beats per minute (bpm), or fast (>100 bpm).

G – Grimace (reflex irritability/response)

During this evaluation, the medical team asks if the baby lacks a response to stimulation, responds with a grimace, or responds by crying and pulling away.

A – Activity (muscle tone)

During this evaluation, the medical team asks if the baby is limp, if the baby has some flexion (joint movement), or if the baby shows active motion.

R – Respiration (breathing ability)

During this step, the medical team asks if the baby is failing to breathe, if the baby has a weak cry and slow breathing, or if the baby is breathing well and crying normally.

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?
Marat540 [252]

WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.
