Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The APGAR score is determined by five factors: appearance (color), pulse (heart rate), grimace (response to stimulation), activity (muscle tone), and respiration (breathing). Sally's condition corresponds to: 2 points for color (pink), 2 points for heart rate (high), 2 points for respiration (steady), 1 point for activity (some muscle movement), and 0 points for grimace (no response to plantar stimulation), totaling 7 points.
