NRP 7TH EDITION SECTION 1 EXAM
1. teamwork, leadership, communication.: A premature newborn is born apneic and
requires ongoing respiratory support and chest compressions. You and 3 col- leagues
provide care immediately following birth. What behavioral skills are critical to ensure
successful and optimal care during resuscitation?
2. 30 seconds: The steps of intubation should ideally be completed within which
duration?
3. insert a laryngeal mask: 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?
4. warm position
head clear
secretions dry
stimulate: You have determined a baby needs resuscitation at birth. What are the initial
steps of newborn care?
5. term?
muscle tone?
breathing or crying?: 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?
6. rising heart rate: 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?
7. place pulse oximeter on right hand and use minute by minute specific O2 SAT
TARGET: Which statement describes recommended practice when using a pulse
oximeter in the delivery room?
8. 100 BPM: 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?
9. Babies may take as long as 10 minutes after birth to increase their oxygen
saturation to greater than 90%.: Which statement best describes normal transi- tional
physiology at the time of birth?
10. POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION: What is the most effective maneuver to
establish spontaneous breathing in a baby that is apneic after initial steps?
11. Suction the mouth before the nose.: What is the preferred technique for removing
secretions from the mouth and nose of a newborn who requires resus- citation?
