NRP 7TH EDITION QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS ALREADY PASSED
Question: What is the primary goal of neonatal resuscitation?
Answer: ✔✔ The primary goal of neonatal resuscitation is to support the baby's breathing and
heart function at birth, ensuring adequate oxygenation and circulation to vital organs.
Question: According to the NRP 7th Edition, what is the recommended initial intervention for a
newborn who is not breathing or crying?
Answer: ✔✔ The recommended initial intervention is to provide warmth, clear the airway if
necessary, stimulate the baby, and reposition the head to ensure an open airway.
Question: When should positive pressure ventilation (PPV) be initiated during neonatal
resuscitation?
Answer: ✔✔ PPV should be initiated if the baby is apneic, gasping, or if the heart rate remains
below 100 beats per minute after the initial steps of resuscitation.
Question: What is the recommended oxygen concentration for positive pressure ventilation in
term infants according to the NRP 7th Edition?
1
,Answer: ✔✔ For term infants, positive pressure ventilation should be initiated with room air
(21% oxygen), and oxygen concentration should be adjusted based on the baby's oxygen
saturation and clinical condition.
Question: What is the preferred method for assessing the heart rate of a newborn during
resuscitation?
Answer: ✔✔ The preferred method for assessing heart rate is using a pulse oximeter or
electrocardiogram (ECG), though auscultation with a stethoscope is also acceptable.
Question: At what heart rate is chest compression indicated in neonatal resuscitation?
Answer: ✔✔ Chest compressions are indicated if the newborn's heart rate remains below 60
beats per minute after 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 of chest compressions to ventilations is 3:1, with three
compressions followed by one breath.
2
, Question: According to the NRP 7th Edition, how should epinephrine be administered if the
newborn's heart rate remains below 60 beats per minute despite effective ventilation and chest
compressions?
Answer: ✔✔ Epinephrine should be administered intravenously (IV) or intraosseously (IO) at a
dose of 0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg. If IV or IO access is not available, endotracheal administration may
be considered, though it is less effective.
Question: What is the recommended target oxygen saturation for a newborn 10 minutes after
birth?
Answer: ✔✔ The recommended target oxygen saturation for a newborn at 10 minutes of age is
85% to 95%.
Question: What role does teamwork and communication play in neonatal resuscitation according
to the NRP 7th Edition?
Answer: ✔✔ Effective teamwork and clear communication are critical in neonatal resuscitation
to ensure that each team member understands their role, decisions are made collaboratively, and
the resuscitation process runs smoothly.
