NRP, Test 2
1.When coordinating positive-pressure ventilation with chest
compressions, how many events are performed each minute?: 30 breaths,
90 compressions
2.What is the ideal depth of chest compressions for a newborn?: One-third
of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
3.A newborn requires complex resuscitation.
You have intubated and are administering positive-pressure ventilation and
chest compressions. Which 3 signs are used to evaluate the effectiveness of
your actions, and the need to continue one or both of these measures?: Res-
pirations, heart rate, oxygen saturation
4.For a newborn weighing 1 kg, what dose of 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/mL)
concentra- tion of intravenous epinephrine is indicated?: 0.1 mL
5.You are in the delivery room caring for a preterm newborn at 27
weeks' gestation. The baby's:
-5 minutes old and breathing spontaneously
-heart rate is 120 beats per minute
-oxygen saturation is 90% in room air

, -respirations are labored.
Which of the following is an appropriate action?: Administer CPAP at 5 cm
H20 pressure
6.A baby required ventilation and chest compressions. After 60 seconds of
chest compressions, the electronic cardiac monitor indicates a heart rate of
70 beats per minute. What is your next action?: Stop chest compressions;
continue positive-pressure ventilation.
7.When a newborn has a high risk of mortality and there is a significant
burden of morbidity among survivors, what should be included in your
discussion with the parents concerning options for resuscitation?: The
option of providing comfort care can be considered.
8.What do you expect to happen after administration of a dose of
intravenous epinephrine during a resuscitation?: The heart rate will
increase about 1 minute after administration.
9.What time frame should be used to administer intravenous epinephrine?: -
Rapid push, as quickly as possible
10.When are chest compressions indicated?: When the heart rate
remains less than 60 beats per minute after 30 seconds of positive-
pressure ventilation that moves the chest, preferably through an
