Skylar is an EMT assessing the APGAR score for a newborn. She notes the baby's skin is a healthy pink on its body, but the skin is cyanotic (blue) in the hands and feet. She further notes that the heart rate is above 100 bpm, the baby grimaces in response to stimulation, its arms and legs are flexed, and it is emitting a slow, irregular cry. How should Skylar score this newborn's APGAR?
