2026–2027 | ENP-C Certification Practice Questions,
Verified Answers & Detailed Rationales
SECTION 1: RESPIRATORY EMERGENCIES
Question 1
A 4-year-old presents with vomiting, lethargy, frequent urination, weight loss, and dry
mucous membranes. Vital signs reveal deep respirations at 44 breaths per minute, BP
of 70/44 mm Hg, and HR of 144 beats per minute. Which of the following laboratory
values would be most expected in this child?
A. Hypoglycemia
B. pH below 7.3 with elevated blood glucose >200 mg/dL
C. Elevated serum bicarbonate with normal glucose
D. Normal pH with elevated blood glucose
Answer: B. pH below 7.3 with elevated blood glucose >200 mg/dL
Remediation Feedback: Children can present with new onset diabetes in diabetic
ketoacidosis. Manifestations include signs of dehydration (dry mucous membranes,
hypotension, tachycardia), incontinence (polyuria), vomiting, abdominal pain, Kussmaul
respirations (to counter the acidosis), polydipsia, anorexia, and weight loss. Expected
laboratory values would reveal an acidotic state with a pH level below 7.3, an elevated
serum bicarbonate level, and an elevated blood glucose level >200 mg/dL.
Question 2
An 18-month-old is seen for fever, slight circumferential cyanosis, and wheezing noted
on auscultation in the right upper lobe of the lung field after a choking event 4 days
ago. The white blood cell count is elevated and the patient is noted to be tachypneic,
tachycardic, agitated, and has increased respiratory effort. At the time of the event, the
patient was started on antibiotics with subsequent increasing manifestations instead of
, improvement. Which of the following would be considered to be definitive treatment
for the suspected diagnosis?
A. Continued antibiotics with chest physiotherapy
B. Bronchoscopy to retrieve the suspected foreign body
C. Diagnostic imaging to locate the foreign body
D. Nebulized bronchodilator therapy
Answer: B. Bronchoscopy to retrieve the suspected foreign body
Remediation Feedback: The definitive treatment would be a bronchoscopy in order to
retrieve the suspected foreign body instead of diagnostic tests to locate the foreign
body itself.
Question 3
A child in cardiopulmonary arrest is receiving chest compressions and manual
ventilations with a bag-mask device. Once return of spontaneous circulation has been
confirmed, which of the following would be the priority intervention?
A. Initiate vasopressor infusion
B. Establishing a secure airway
C. Obtain laboratory studies
D. Perform 12-lead ECG
Answer: B. Establishing a secure airway
Question 4
Parents report their 3-year-old child has developed noisy breathing. On assessment,
high-pitched wheezes are audible and auscultated on inspiration and expiration. What
medication would be appropriate to administer first?
A. Inhaled corticosteroids
B. Inhaled short-acting beta agonist
C. Oral corticosteroids
D. Inhaled anticholinergic
