NRP study guide part 1 2022
Which statement best describes normal transitional physiology at the time of birth?
Babies may take as long as 10 minutes after birth to increase their oxygen saturation to greater than
90%
Which statement describes recommended practice when using a pulse oximeter in the delivery
room?
Place the pulse oximeter sensor on the right hand and use the minute specific oxygen saturation
target to guide oxygen supplementation
You have been called to attend a birth and are the only healthcare provider responsible for the
management of those newborn in the room when should you first call for additional help
Before birth when you have identified the presence of a potential risk factor that increases the
likelihood of a request of neonatal resuscitation
A newborn of 34 weeks gestation is not breathing at birth, does not respond to initial steps and
requires positive pressure ventilation what concentration of oxygen should be used as you begin
positive pressure ventilation
21 to 30% oxygen
You have determined a baby needs resuscitation at birth. What are the initial steps of newborn
care?
Provide warmth, position head and neck to open the airway, clear secretions from the airway if
needed, dry, stimulate
You are called to attend to a newborn at birth. At the time the baby is delivered, which three
questions should you ask to evaluate whether the baby can stay with his mother or be moved to a
radiant warmer for further assessment?
Is the baby pink? Is the baby breathing or crying? Is the amniotic fluid clear?
