a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3

Answer 1

Acrocyanosis is scored as a value of 1 on the APGAR assessment as part of the 'appearance' criterion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The APGAR assessment scores each of the five criteria on a scale of 0, 1, or 2. Acrocyanosis, which refers to the bluish discoloration of the extremities, is assessed under the 'appearance' criterion. A score of 0 is given if the baby's entire body is blue or pale, 1 if the body is pink but the extremities are blue, and 2 if the baby is completely pink.
