NRP, Test 2 Exam Questions and Answers
(2024/2025)(Verified Answers)
When coordinating positive-pressure ventilation with chest compressions, how many events are
performed each minute?
30 breaths, 90 compressions
What is the ideal depth of chest compressions for a newborn?
One-third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the chest
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
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
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
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.
.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.
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.
What time frame should be used to administer intravenous epinephrine?
Rapid push, as quickly as possible
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 alternative airway.
