Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Apgar Scale is designed to quickly assess a newborn's physical condition immediately after birth and measures five vital signs: heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, reflexes, and skin color. It is used to determine how well the baby can adapt and respond to the stress of delivery. It is not used to determine limb deformities, postnatal complications, or lactose tolerance.
