    The missing options are:

    a-Respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min

    b - White blood count greater than 15,000 mm3

    c-Serum calcium level of 8 mg/dL (2 mmol/L)

    d- - Blood glucose level of 36 mg/dL (3.8 mmol/L)

    The correct answer is d - - Blood glucose level of 36 mg/dL (3.8 mmol/L).

    Explanation:

    A blood glucose level of 36 mg/dL means that the newborn has low levels of sugar, also known as hypoglycemia. The glucose that the baby has in the body it is not enough to maintain a constant temperature, that is why it is decreasing. To have a stable temperature, the level of glucose should be 40 mg/dL.
