Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The Apgar score is determined by the following: Heart rate: absent = 0, <100 >100 = 2 . Respiratory effort: absent = 0, slow, irregular = 1, good, crying = 2 . Muscle tone: flaccid = 0, some flexion of extremities = 1, active crying = 2 . Reflexes, irritability: no response = 0, weak cry or grimace = 1, vigorous crying = 2 . Color: blue, pale = 0, body pink, extremities blue = 1, and completely pink = 2 . This neonate receives 2 for heart rate, 2 for respiratory effort, 2 for reflexes, and 1 for muscle tone and color, which equals a score of 8.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Clarification is necessary if the client answers a question and the nurse does not clearly understand the answer or wants additional information. The nurse can ask the client to repeat what was said, or may say, Tell me more about it or Explain that to me or What do you mean by.? Do you smoke? is an example of a closed-ended question.
