NRP Study Questions with Complete
Solutions
Question: What is the primary goal of neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The primary goal of neonatal resuscitation is to establish and maintain adequate

breathing and circulation in a newborn who is not transitioning well to extrauterine life.




Question: When should positive pressure ventilation be initiated during neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Positive pressure ventilation should be initiated if the newborn has a heart rate

below 100 beats per minute after adequate stimulation and if the baby is not breathing effectively

despite providing adequate positive pressure ventilation.




Question: What is the recommended initial step for resuscitating a newborn who is not breathing

or has poor muscle tone?


Answer: ✔✔ The recommended initial step is to provide adequate stimulation by drying the baby

and positioning them properly to ensure their airway is open, followed by evaluating their need

for further resuscitation measures.




Question: What is the correct method for performing chest compressions on a newborn?




1

,Answer: ✔✔ Chest compressions on a newborn should be performed with two thumbs encircling

the chest or with two fingers, applying compression at a depth of approximately one-third of the

chest's anterior-posterior diameter and at a rate of 120 compressions per minute.




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 appropriate volume of fluid to administer in the case of suspected blood

loss during neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The appropriate volume of fluid to administer is typically 10 mL/kg of isotonic

fluid, such as normal saline or lactated Ringer’s solution, in cases of suspected blood loss.




Question: How should the effectiveness of resuscitation efforts be monitored?


Answer: ✔✔ The effectiveness of resuscitation efforts should be monitored by assessing the

newborn’s heart rate, breathing, color, and muscle tone. Additionally, continuous monitoring of

vital signs and response to interventions is crucial.




Question: What role does temperature management play in neonatal resuscitation?



2

,Answer: ✔✔ Temperature management is crucial in neonatal resuscitation to prevent

hypothermia, which can worsen the newborn’s condition. Maintaining a warm environment and

using pre-warmed equipment helps ensure the newborn’s body temperature remains stable.




Question: What is the recommended approach to managing a newborn with a suspected

meconium aspiration syndrome?


Answer: ✔✔ For a newborn with suspected meconium aspiration syndrome, immediate

suctioning of the airway should be performed if the baby is not breathing or has poor muscle

tone. This is followed by appropriate ventilation and other resuscitation measures as needed.




Question: How should you prepare for neonatal resuscitation in a delivery setting?


Answer: ✔✔ Preparation for neonatal resuscitation includes ensuring that resuscitation

equipment is readily available, having a clear plan for potential complications, and ensuring that

the delivery team is trained and prepared to perform resuscitation procedures if needed.




Question: What is the recommended position for a newborn to optimize breathing during

resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The recommended position for a newborn during resuscitation is the supine

position with the head in a neutral position or slightly extended to keep the airway open.




3

, Question: When is it appropriate to use supplemental oxygen during neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Supplemental oxygen should be used if the newborn shows signs of inadequate

oxygenation or if their oxygen saturation levels are below 60% despite adequate ventilation and

chest compressions.




Question: What is the correct way to assess the newborn’s heart rate during resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The newborn’s heart rate should be assessed by palpating the umbilical artery or by

using a stethoscope placed on the left side of the chest, and it should be continuously monitored

with a cardiac monitor if available.




Question: What is the recommended frequency for reassessing the effectiveness of resuscitation

efforts?


Answer: ✔✔ The effectiveness of resuscitation efforts should be reassessed every 30 seconds to

1 minute to determine if interventions are improving the newborn’s condition.




Question: What should be done if a newborn’s heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute

despite adequate resuscitation efforts?


Answer: ✔✔ If a newborn’s heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute despite adequate

resuscitation efforts, it is recommended to administer epinephrine and consider additional

interventions such as volume resuscitation and further evaluation for underlying causes.
