When assessing a newborn, the nurse should cover and report the 5 manifestations included in the process for determining the Apgar score.

Apgar score is a score given to newborn babies following a series of evaluations. The purpose of this score is to detect health issues and determine the level of immediate care the baby requires. The evaluations include measurements of:

  • Heart Rate
  • Breathing effort
  • Muscle tone
  • Reflex
  • Color

Heart rate and breathing effort are self-explanatory. They seek to determine if the heart and lungs of the newborn are functioning as intended. Meanwhile, the Muscle tone evaluation looks for any deformities in the muscles of the newborn, looking to confirm that the child is able to properly flex and move the arms and legs. Reflex tells whether the child has a strong cry and responds to stimulation as per the norm. Finally, color is a test to check for proper circulation of irrigation of specific parts throughout the body, primarily the hands and feet.

When assessing the newborn, the nurse should report each of these manifestations, after scoring them from 0 to 2. Most babies should score a total of 8-9 points, 10 being superb health. Those newborns who for a series of reasons score below a 6 are considered as being in imminent danger and require intensive care.

Which of these best describes a common impact of pregnancy for unmarried adolescent partners?
Artist 52 [7]
Fewer job opportunities for the mother, unfortunately, especially if she is pregnant, because people judge, and they won't think she is responsible since she is underage and with child. With the father, it's not like they'll know right away, and they can just walk away and not be bothered with the subject again, while the mother will have to find a job and either manage to balance school, or drop out. The parents don't have to do anything, but they can support there children, but it's still not going to affect if they get job offerings or not.

What is one likely long-term consequence of gang involvement
yan [13]
HI There Lizzie!


A. Having support from your family: this is a good thing to do. not what gangs do. Gangs let you do dangerous things, for example Hazing. 

B. Spending time in jail: This is what gangs mostly like to get after doing bad things. Yet, they could sometimes spend their whole life depending what or how cruel they did. This can or could be the place for them where everything ends. Even their life.

C. Getting a good job: This is also a good thing, getting a good job is part of your life career. Again, Gangs are mean and bad people. What they do is like steal, kidnap, hazing, killing, etc. 

D. Avoiding a police record: Well, this is good to do. You don't wanna end up being in jail. You try to do good stuff to keep getting out of police/criminal records. 


Well, as you can see, A,C, and D are good things that people do. B is the only left. And is explained why. Gangs, are basically you know, people who are bad, stealing, killing kidnapping, hazing, etc. They are groups of bad people. That's why a single person of a Gang is called "Gangster". 

Your answer is B.
