Which of the following is NOT a component of the APGAR score?

Temperature

APGAR scoring evaluates how well a newborn has adapted to life outside the womb using five quick observations: appearance (skin color), pulse (heart rate), grimace (reflex irritability), activity (muscle tone), and respiration (breathing effort). Temperature isn’t part of this scoring system, even though keeping a newborn warm is clinically important. So, temperature is the not-component. The other options—appearance, pulse, and grimace—are all components of the APGAR score.
