Learners consider the Apgar scores for several fictitious newborns. They are then given an Apgar score and proceed to create a situation in which a newborn would receive that rating.
In this animated activity, learners practice listening and counting the apical pulse of adults, children, and infants.
Students read about the importance of the Apgar score in assessing the newborn after delivery. Each sign of the Apgar score is identified with illustrations to help the student recognize the proper rating.
Learners consider the steps and supplies to use when diapering infants and toddlers. The proper diapering procedure not only meets basic care and sanitation needs but builds relationships and promotes the child’s learning. Brief quizzes complete the learning object.
