Scoring notes
Scored at 1 and 5 minutes of life. Heart rate is the most important single component — a rate under 100 drives NRP action regardless of the composite score.
Acrocyanosis (pink body, blue hands and feet) scores 1 for color and is a normal early finding; central cyanosis is never normal.
Educational use only. Resuscitation follows NRP and provider direction in real time — the APGAR score documents newborn transition and never delays intervention. This material supports nursing education and exam review. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for clinical judgment, institutional policy, or medical direction. Always follow facility protocols and current provider orders.
