Answer to Question 1

C
The Apgar score of less than 6 indicates that the neonate is in distress. For scores low but above 6, the nurse can indicate simulation by gently rubbing the infant's back and administer oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

A
An anesthesiologist is a licensed physician educated and skilled in the delivery of anesthesia. An anesthetist is a qualified RN, dentist, or physician who administers anesthetics and must work under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.
