Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
Practice Questions with Verified
Solutions
Question: What is the initial step in neonatal resuscitation immediately after birth?


Answer: ✔✔ The initial step is to assess and provide warmth, clear the airway if necessary, and

dry and stimulate the newborn to encourage breathing.




Question: At what heart rate should chest compressions be initiated during neonatal

resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Chest compressions should be initiated if the heart rate remains below 60 beats per

minute after at least 30 seconds of effective ventilation with 100% oxygen.




Question: What is the recommended ratio of chest compressions to ventilations during neonatal

resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The recommended ratio is 3 compressions to 1 ventilation.




Question: How can effective ventilation be ensured during positive pressure ventilation (PPV)?


Answer: ✔✔ Effective ventilation can be ensured by observing chest rise with each breath,

adjusting the mask fit, and checking the airway for obstruction if necessary.

,Question: What is the primary indication for intubation during neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The primary indication for intubation is ineffective positive pressure ventilation

with a mask or if chest compressions are required.




Question: When should epinephrine be administered in neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Epinephrine should be administered if the heart rate remains below 60 beats per

minute after 30 seconds of chest compressions and effective ventilation with 100% oxygen.




Question: What are the primary steps of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) algorithm?


Answer: ✔✔ The primary steps include providing warmth, positioning and clearing the airway,

drying and stimulating the baby, and assessing heart rate and breathing. Depending on the

assessment, steps may include positive pressure ventilation, chest compressions, and

administering medications like epinephrine.




Question: What is the correct concentration of epinephrine for use in neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ The correct concentration of epinephrine is 1:10,000 (0.1 mg/mL).




Question: What is the role of pulse oximetry in neonatal resuscitation?


2

, Answer: ✔✔ Pulse oximetry is used to assess oxygen saturation and guide the use of

supplemental oxygen during resuscitation, especially in preterm infants.




Question: When should the use of supplemental oxygen be considered during neonatal

resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Supplemental oxygen should be considered if the infant's oxygen saturation is

below target levels based on minutes after birth, or if the infant requires positive pressure

ventilation.




Question: What factors determine the decision to stop resuscitation efforts in a newborn?


Answer: ✔✔ Resuscitation efforts may be stopped if there is no heart rate after 10 minutes of

continuous, appropriate resuscitation efforts, and this decision should be made based on clinical

judgment and discussion with the healthcare team.




Question: How is effective chest compression depth determined during neonatal resuscitation?


Answer: ✔✔ Effective chest compressions should compress the chest to a depth of

approximately one-third of the anterior-posterior diameter of the infant’s chest.
