Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioural Assessment Scale assesses the infant on 27 items, including motor behavior, response to visual and auditory stimuli and self-regulation. The overall rating is given as worrisome, normal or superior. The Apgar scale assesses the baby's physical condition at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth, scoring on five factors: heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color. The Wechsler Infant Intelligence Scale and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale are both intelligence tests and are not used for neonatal assessment.
