The circumference of the head should be less than 2 cm greater than that of the chest. All other listed assessments are within the norm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The Apgar score is a standardized method of evaluating the newborn's condition immediately after delivery. Five objective signs are measured: heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, reflexes, and color. The score is obtained 1 minute after birth and again after 5 minutes.
