NRP EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025/2026
Fibroncentins - CORRECT ANSWER -Protein, normally found in cervicovaginal fluid. After 22
weeks the presence of fFns normally in no longer detected until approximately 2 weeks before
the onset of delivery, term or preterm. Biochemical marker useful for predicting preterm birth.
Cervical Ferritin - CORRECT ANSWER -An inflammatory marker not a biochemical marker.
Support for theory the infection is a mediator of preterm birth.
Maternal corticorropin-releasing hormone - CORRECT ANSWER -Elevated in both term and
preterm pregnancies
Placental a-microglobulin-1 - CORRECT ANSWER -Protein found in amniotic fluid that is a bio
marker for rupture of membranes
FHR variability - CORRECT ANSWER -Most important FHR characteristic
Important indicator or normal fetal pH or acidosis
Moderate variability predicts a sense of fetal metabolic acidemia
Normal FHR - CORRECT ANSWER -110-160
Decelerations of FHR are due to - CORRECT ANSWER -1. Reflex autonomic slowing of FHR in
response to changes in BP and blood gas
2. Disrupted oxygen transfer
, FHR acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER -Reflex normal autonomic regulation of FHR and are
highly predictive of fetal metabolic academia
BPP - CORRECT ANSWER -Evaluation of fetal well-being through reflexes controlled by CNS that
are sensitive to hypoxia
BBP 5 fetal variables - CORRECT ANSWER -Fetal tone
Fetal movement
Fetal breathing
Fetal reactivity (non stress test)
Amniotic fluid volume
Appropriate glucose screening for low risk - CORRECT ANSWER -24-28
Appropriate glucose screening for high risk - CORRECT ANSWER -First prenatal appointment and
24-28 weeks
What does infant gas look like when women give birth sitting up - CORRECT ANSWER -Lower
Pco2
Higher pH and Po2
Supine position during labor can cause - CORRECT ANSWER -Increased abdominal and
intrathoracic pressure, increased vasoconstriction, increased maternal BP, and increase
intrauterine pressure resulting in decreased blood flow to uterus
Late deceleration is a fetal response to - CORRECT ANSWER -Transient hypoxemia during uterine
contractions
