A term infant is admitted to the NICU at 1 hour of life after requiring brief positive-pressure ventilation at birth. On exam, the infant is lethargic, shows decreased spontaneous activity, has a weak suck, and demonstrates distal flexion with an incomplete Moro reflex. Pupils are constricted but reactive, and there are no observed seizures. Using Sarnat staging of encephalopathy, how should this infant’s condition be classified?
