NRP 2026 - 8TH EDIDITION WITH
ACCURATE QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS
According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition, what is the
suggested initial dose for IV epinephrine (0.1 mg/1 mL=1 mg/10 mL)? - correct-
answer -0.02 mg/kg (equal to 0.2 mL/kg)
When is the administration of a volume expander indicated during newborn
resuscitation? - correct-answer -The baby's heart rate is not increasing and there
are signs of shock or a history of acute blood loss.
Your team is caring for a term newborn whose heart rate is 50 bpm after receiving
effective ventilation, chest compressions, and intravenous epinephrine
administration. There is a history of acute blood loss around the time of delivery.
You administer 10 mL/kg of normal saline (based on the newborn's estimated
weight). At what rate should this be administered? - correct-answer -Over 5 to 10
minutes
How soon after administration of intravenous epinephrine should you pause

A baby is born at 26 weeks gestation. The initial steps of care, including gentle
stimulation, have been completed and the baby is nearly 1-minute old. The baby
is not breathing. What is the most appropriate next step? - correct-answer -Begin
PPV by mask.
Choose the appropriate step(s) to prepare for the birth of a newborn <32 weeks
gestation. - correct-answer -Prepare the preheated radiant warmer with a thermal
mattress, plastic wrap or bag, a hat, and a skin temperature sensor
A term newborn was born via emergency cesarean section in the setting of fetal
bradycardia. The baby was limp and bradycardic at birth and was intubated at 6
minutes after birth for persistent apnea. The cord blood gas demonstrates a
severe metabolic acidosis, and the physical examination is consistent with
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Which of the following is the most
appropriate intervention for this newborn? - correct-answer -Admit the newborn
to a center with capability to perform therapeutic hypothermia.
