NRP Instructor exam 2
What is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions? -
☑️Electronic cardiac (ECG) monitoring
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.
For a newborn weighing 1 kg, what dose of 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/mL) concentration of intravenous
epinephrine is indicated? -
☑️0.1 ml
Which statement best describes the ethical principle(s) that guide the resuscitation of a newborn? -
☑️The approach to decisions in the newborn should be guided by the same principles
used for adults and older children.
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? -
☑️Respirations, heart rate, oxygen saturation
In most cases, who is (are) the usual and appropriate surrogate decision maker(s) for a newborn? -
☑️The newborn's parents
What time frame should be used to administer intravenous epinephrine? -
☑️Rapid push, as quickly as possible
Which of the following may be associated with delayed cord clamping in vigorous preterm
newborns? -
☑️Decreased need for blood transfusions
Which of the following is true about the preparation and resources needed for a very preterm birth?
-
☑️Prepare the preheated radiant warmer with a thermal mattress, plastic wrap or bag, and
a hat.
After what duration of time might it be reasonable to consider discontinuing resuscitation following
complete resuscitation efforts with no detectable heart rate? -
☑️10 min
A 10-day-old, mechanically ventilated newborn suddenly develops a low heart rate (bradycardia)
and low oxygen saturation, despite increasing the oxygen concentration to 100%.What is the first
and the most important step in the resuscitation of this newborn? -
☑️Assess and establish adequate ventilation
How soon after administration of intravenous epinephrine should you pause compressions and
reassess the baby's heart rate? -
