A normal axillary temperature for a newborn is between 97.7°F (36.5°C) and 99.5°F (37.5°C). Therefore, an axillary temperature of 96.8°F (37°C) is indicative of hypothermia and is not normal. B, C, and D are also not indicative of normal newborn vital signs. A heart rate at rest of 180 beats per minute is indicative of tachycardia, a respiratory rate of 62 breaths per minute is indicative of respiratory distress, and a blood pressure of 90/60 mm Hg on day 1 of life is low for a newborn and may be indicative of hypovolemia.
