单项选择题
The client delivers a viable male neonate who is given a score of 9 at 5 minutes on the Apgar rating system. The client asks the nurse what it means. The nurse interprets this finding as indicating that the neonate’s physical condition is which of the following
A. Good.
B. Fair.
C. Poor.
D. Critical.
答案
参考答案：A
解析：The Apgar rating system evaluates the neonate on the basis of heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color at 1- and 5-minute intervals after birth. The neonate receives a score between 0 and 10. The higher the score, the better the neonate’s condition. An Apgar score of 9 out of a possible score of 10 means that the neonate is in good condition.
