The steps of intubation should ideally be completed within which duration? - CORRECT ANSWER 30 seconds 3. A baby is born at term with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and a very small mandible. She requires positive-pressure ventilation because she is not breathing. You are unable to achieve a seal with bag and mask. Which intervention is indicated? - CORRECT ANSWER insert a laryngeal mask 4. You have determined a baby needs resuscitation at birth. What are the initial steps of newborn care? - CORRECT ANSWER warm position head clear secretions dry stimulate 5. You are called to attend to a newborn at birth. At the time the baby is delivered, which 3 questions should you ask to evaluate whether the baby can stay with his mother or be moved to the radiant warmer for further assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER term? muscle tone? breathing or crying? 6. You have started positive-pressure ventilation for a newborn because her heart rate is low (bradycardia). What is the most important indicator of successful positive-pressure ventilation? This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :38:20 GMT -06:00 - CORRECT ANSWER rising heart rate 7. Which statement describes recommended practice when using a pulse oximeter in the delivery room? - CORRECT ANSWER place pulse oximeter on right hand and use minute by minute specific O2 SAT TARGET 8. During the resuscitation of a newborn, you auscultate the apical pulse and count 10 beats over a 6 second period. What heart rate do you report to your team? - CORRECT ANSWER 100 BPM 9. Which statement best describes normal transitional physiology at the time of birth? - CORRECT ANSWER Babies may take as long as 10 minutes after birth to increase their oxygen saturation to greater than 90%. 10. What is the most effective maneuver to establish spontaneous breathing in a baby that is apneic after initial steps? - CORRECT ANSWER POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION 11. What is the preferred technique for removing secretions from the mouth and nose of a newborn who requires resuscitation? - CORRECT ANSWER Suction the mouth before the nose. 12. A full-term baby is born by emergency cesarean delivery because of fetal bradycardia (Category III fetal heart rate tracing). The baby is limp and not breathing after initial steps. What is the next step in the resuscitation process? - CORRECT ANSWER initiate ppv& check for rising heart rate 13.

What is the next step in the resuscitation process? - CORRECT ANSWER Initiate positive-pressure ventilation and check for increasing heart rate 15. A newborn of 34 weeks' gestation is not breathing (apneic) 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? - CORRECT ANSWER 21 - 30% oxygen
