NRP 8th Edition Test Exams Questions with
Answers(Latest Update):Complete Version
Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds. When is placement of an
endotracheal tube strongly recommended? -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? -answer-In the
hospital and immediately available
What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within the trachea? -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 has been intubated
and the endotracheal tube insertion depth is correct. You can see chest movement with PPV and hear
bilateral breath sounds, but the colorimetric CO2 detector does not turn yellow. What is the likely
reason for this? -answer-Low cardiac output.
According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition algorithm, at what point during
resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended to assess the baby's heart rate? -answer-When an
alternative airway is inserted
What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a preterm newborn with an estimated
gestational age of 32 weeks (estimated birth weight of 1.4 kg)? -answer-0
Even brief interruptions of chest compressions may significantly reduce their effectiveness, but it is also
important to assess the need to continue chest compressions. What is the preferred way to assess the
heart rate during chest compressions? -answer-Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 60 seconds to
assess the heart rate using the cardiac monitor.

, Your team is resuscitating a newborn at birth. The heart rate is low and the baby has poor perfusion.
Which is the preferred method to assess the heart rate? -answer-Cardiac monitor
When are chest compressions indicated? -answer-When the heart rate remains less than 60 bpm after
at least 30 seconds of PPV that moves the chest, preferably through an alternative airway
After 60 seconds of PPV coordinated with chest compressions, the cardiac monitor indicates a heart rate
of 70 beats per minute. What is your next action? -answer-Stop chest compressions and continue PPV.
What is the recommended depth of chest compressions? -answer-One-third of the anterior-posterior
diameter of the chest
During chest compressions, which of the following is correct? -answer-To coordinate compressions and
ventilations, the compressor calls out one-and-two-and-three-and-breathe-and....
Your team is resuscitating a newborn whose heart rate remains less than 60 bpm despite effective PPV
and 60 seconds of chest compressions. You have administered epinephrine intravenously. According to
the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition, what volume of normal saline flush should you
administer? -answer-3 mL
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)? -answer-0.02 mg/kg (equal to 0.2 mL/kg)
When is the administration of a volume expander indicated during newborn resuscitation? -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? -answer-Over 5 to 10 minutes
