An Apgar score of 3 means the newborn requires immediate resuscitation.

Explanation:

The Apgar score is an assessing method done by the healthcare providers immediately the baby is born mostly within one to five minutes.

Apgar stands for the five basic parameters checked during this assessment:

  • A: Activity level or muscle tone
  • P: Pulse or heart rate
  • G: Grimace or response to stimulit or reflex irritability
  • A: Appearance or skin color
  • R: Respiratory or breathing rate

These parameters are scored on three points 0, 1, and 2

Apgar score indications:

From 0 to 3 indicates critically low condition

From 4 to 6 indicates a below normal condition

From 7 to 10 indicates normal condition.

The critically low condition usually occurs in premature, low birth-weight neonates and requires immediate intensive and resuscitative care measures to improve the newborn’s condition. This is highly necessary to improve the survival rate and prevent mortality.

Slaves provided cheap labors, and as they were not "citizens" of the US, they were not allowed their rights.

Slaves were also relatively easy to buy and replace, however, their survival rates were not that good after they traveled long distance.

Fill in the blanks: The original organism is called the _____________, and new organisms are called the _____________.
NARA [144]

Answer:

The original organism is called the <u><em>parent (ancestor)</em></u> , and new organisms are called the <u><em>offspring</em></u>.

Explanation:

Reproduction is one of the characteristics of life. Every living organism tends to give rise to another organism. The organism which gives rise to another organism is termed as the parent. The organism which is born is known as the offspring.

There are two basic methods of reproduction. An organism can give rise to another organism by the method of asexual or sexual reproduction.

During asexual reproduction, identical copies of the parent organism are made. During sexual reproduction, two organisms reproduce to produce non-identical offsprings.
