and Answers Graded A+
Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds.
When is placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended? - Correct
answer-The baby's heart rate remains less than 100 bpm and is not increasing.
During a delivery, when and where should a person with intubation skills be
available? - Correct answer-In the hospital and immediately available
What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within
the trachea? - Correct answer-Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and
a rapidly increasing heart rate
You are resuscitating a critically ill newborn whose heart rate is 20 bpm. The baby

compressions? - Correct answer-Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 60
seconds to assess the heart rate using the cardiac monitor.

has poor perfusion. Which is the preferred method to assess the heart rate? -
Correct answer-Cardiac monitor
When are chest compressions indicated? - Correct answer-When the heart rate
