Answer to Question 1

A
Assessment findings will likely include increased respiratory rate, diminished breath sounds, the use of accessory muscles, and hypoxemia.

Answer to Question 2

D
The neonate's Apgar score of 1 is found by adding these points: heart rate of 85 = 1 point, cyanotic body = 0 points, apnea = 0 points, flaccid muscle tone = 0 points, no reaction to stimulation = 0 points.
