A nurse is caring for a newborn and auscultates an apical heart rate of 130/min. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: A. Verification is unnecessary for a heart rate within the normal range. B. A newborn’s normal resting heart rate ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute, so 130/min is expected. C. Transport to the NICU is not indicated for a normal heart rate. D. Calling the provider is unnecessary because the finding is within normal limits.
