The 5-minute Apgar of a baby delivered by C-section is recorded as 9. The most likely reason for this score is:
- A. The mottled appearance of the trunk
- B. The presence of conjunctival hemorrhages
- C. Cyanosis of the hands and feet
- D. Respiratory rate of 20-28 per minute
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 5-minute Apgar score of 9 typically reflects one point deduction, often for color, with cyanosis of the hands and feet (acrocyanosis) being common in newborns, especially post-C-section, due to initial circulation adjustments. Mottling or hemorrhages don't directly score points off, and a respiratory rate of 20-28 is low (normal is 30-60), potentially docking more points. Nurses recognize acrocyanosis as benign, resolving naturally, and use this score to reassure parents while monitoring transition, ensuring no further intervention is needed.

Caring involves 5 processes, KNOWING, BEING WITH, DOING FOR, ENABLING and MAINTAINING BELIEF.
- A. Benner
- B. Watson
- C. Leininger
- D. Swanson
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kristen Swanson's Theory of Caring, from the 1990s, outlines five processes: knowing (understanding the patient's experience), being with (offering presence), doing for (performing tasks patients can't), enabling (empowering self-care), and maintaining belief (instilling hope). Unlike Benner's expertise model, Watson's spiritual focus, or Leininger's cultural lens, Swanson's framework is practical and patient-centered. For instance, a nurse might ‘know' a cancer patient's fears, ‘be with' them during chemo, ‘do for' by administering meds, ‘enable' through education, and ‘maintain belief' by affirming recovery potential. Grounded in empirical research, her theory guides nurses in holistic care, particularly in maternal or end-of-life settings, emphasizing relational depth over technical skill alone.
