Choose the most correct answer
If a child scores a 6 on the APGAR scale is it :
1. Normal, healthy score
2. Poor score indicating some problems
3. Score ia impossible to obtain
4. Dangerously low score
Based on the APGAR scale, a score of 6 would fall under option 2: "Poor score indicating some problems."
The most correct answer would be option 1: Normal, healthy score.
The APGAR scale is a standardized method used to quickly assess the overall health and well-being of newborns immediately after birth. It measures five vital signs - appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration - each receiving a score of 0, 1, or 2. The total score ranges from 0 to 10, with a score of 7-10 considered normal and healthy. A score of 6 would still be within the normal range, indicating that the child is doing well but may require some monitoring or further evaluation.
