NRP TEST EXAM 2025/2026 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds. When is
placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended? - ANS 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? -
ANS In the hospital and immediately available
What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within the trachea?
- ANS 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? - ANS 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? -
ANS 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)? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS Cardiac monitor
When are chest compressions indicated? - ANS 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? - ANS Stop chest compressions
and continue PPV.
What is the recommended depth of chest compressions? - ANS One-third of the anterior-
posterior diameter of the chest
During chest compressions, which of the following is correct? - ANS 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? - ANS 3 mL
