One minute after delivery, the neonate's heart rate is 120 beats per minute. She demonstrates a vigorous cry and is actively moving. The infant resists the nurse's attempts to straighten her arm.
 
  When the nurse flicks the soles of her feet, the infant grimaces. Her body is pink and her extremities are blue. What APGAR score should the nurse assign to this infant?
  1. 9
  2. 8
  3. 7

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute correlates with 2 points and vigorous cry correlates with 2 points. Active movement of extremities correlates with 2 points. Grimacing in response to flicking of the soles correlates with 1 point and a pink body with blue extremities correlates with 1 point. This infant's APGAR score is 8.
