Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
An Apgar score below 7 at 1 or 5 minutes indicates the need for resuscitation. IV fluid therapy and blood cultures may be done once resuscitation is started. Kangaroo care would be appropriate once the newborn is stable.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Palpation should be the last part of the abdominal examination. Inspection, auscultation, and percussion should be done before palpation.
