A The Apgar indicates that no respiratory interventions are needed.
B The infant needs to be assessed for clavicle fractures before excessive
movement.
C Because of the shoulder dystocia, the infant's clavicles may have been fractured.
Palpation is a simple assessment to identify crepitus or deformity that requires
follow-up.
D A complete newborn assessment is necessary for all newborns, but assessment of
the clavicle is top priority for this infant.
