Answer to Question 1

53. ANS: B
54. ANS: D
55. ANS: E
56. ANS: A
57. ANS: C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Apgar score is 9 because 1 point is deducted from the total score of 10 for the infant's blue hands and feet. The baby received 2 points for each of the categories except color. Because the infant's hands and feet were blue, this category is given a grade of 1.
