Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Apgar Scale provides a quick, approximate assessment of a newborn's status by looking at five vital signs: heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex response, and skin color. It is generally performed at one and five minutes after birth, and can help clinicians determine if any immediate intervention is necessary. The other options listed are not related to assessing a newborn's status in this way.
