NRP Practice Exam Questions and
Answers Already Passed
Question: What is the primary goal of Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines?


Answer: ✔✔ The primary goal of NRP guidelines is to ensure the effective and timely

resuscitation of newborns who require assistance at birth to establish normal breathing and

circulation.




Question: What is the recommended approach for assessing a newborn's heart rate immediately

after birth?


Answer: ✔✔ Assess the newborn's heart rate by palpating the umbilical cord or using a

stethoscope to listen to the heart. If the heart rate is below 60 beats per minute, initiate

resuscitation efforts.




Question: What should be the first step if a newborn is not breathing effectively after birth?


Answer: ✔✔ If a newborn is not breathing effectively, the first step is to provide positive

pressure ventilation using a bag-mask device to help establish normal breathing.




Question: What are the key steps in performing chest compressions on a newborn?




1

,Answer: ✔✔ The key steps include positioning the newborn on a firm surface, using two fingers

or thumbs to compress the lower half of the sternum, compressing at a rate of 120 per minute and

to a depth of about one-third of the chest’s depth.




Question: When should epinephrine be administered during neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Epinephrine should be administered if the newborn’s heart rate remains below 60

beats per minute despite adequate ventilation and chest compressions.




Question: What is the recommended initial oxygen concentration for resuscitating a newborn at

birth?


Answer: ✔✔ The recommended initial oxygen concentration is room air (21%), gradually

increasing to 100% oxygen if the newborn’s condition does not improve.




Question: How should the effectiveness of positive pressure ventilation be evaluated?


Answer: ✔✔ The effectiveness of positive pressure ventilation should be evaluated by observing

chest rise and checking the heart rate for improvement.




Question: What is the importance of adequate warming in neonatal resuscitation?




2

, Answer: ✔✔ Adequate warming is crucial to prevent hypothermia, which can further

compromise the newborn’s condition and interfere with the effectiveness of resuscitation efforts.




Question: How is the APGAR score used in neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The APGAR score is used to quickly assess the newborn's condition at one and five

minutes after birth, evaluating aspects like heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex response,

and color to guide resuscitation decisions.




Question: What are the indications for using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in neonatal

resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ An LMA may be used if endotracheal intubation is not feasible or if there is

difficulty with bag-mask ventilation and the newborn requires assisted ventilation.




Question: What are the steps to take if meconium is present and the newborn is depressed?


Answer: ✔✔ If meconium is present and the newborn is depressed, the airway should be cleared

by suctioning before initiating resuscitation efforts, and the newborn should be assessed for the

need for further resuscitation measures.




Question: What role does the team leader play during neonatal resuscitation?
