  A) How many hours old is this newborn?
  B) How long ago did this newborn eat?
  C) What was the newborn's birth weight?
  D) Is acrocyanosis present?

Feedback:
The typical heart rate of a newborn ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute with wide fluctuation during activity and sleep. Typically heart rate is assessed every 30 minutes until stable for 2 hours after birth. The time of the newborn's last feeding and his birth weight would have no effect on his heart rate. Acrocyanosis is a common normal finding in newborns.
