Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measures described - irritability, excitability, responsiveness, and ability to calm down - are all part of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). The Apgar Scale assesses a newborn's physical condition based on heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflexes, and skin color. Chorionic Villi Sampling Scale is not a recognized assessment tool for a newborn's condition, and Positron Emission Tomography is a type of medical imaging not used for newborn assessment.
