Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Apgar test is administered after birth to determine the overall health of the baby. A score of 8-10 is good.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Apgar score is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth. A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health.

Detailed explanation-2: -While the Apgar test can tell a lot about your baby’s condition in the few minutes after birth, it doesn’t tell you much about anything long-term. In fact, even babies whose scores remain low at 5 minutes usually turn out to be completely healthy. All babies get at least two Apgar scores in the delivery room.

Detailed explanation-3: -A low Apgar score of 0 to 1 at 1 minute is not predictive of adverse clinical outcomes or long-term health issues since most infants, even those with very low 1-minute scores will have normal scores by 5 minutes.
