NRP 8th Edition Test Complete Questions & Answers 2026.

Your team has provided face-mask PPV with chest movement for 30 seconds. When is

placement of an endotracheal tube strongly recommended?

- The baby's heart rate remains less than 100 bpm and is not increasing.

During a delivery, when and where should a person with intubation skills be available?

- In the hospital and immediately available

What are the primary methods of confirming endotracheal tube placement within the

trachea?

- Demonstration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and a rapidly increasing heart rate

You are resuscitating a critically ill newborn whose heart rate is 20 bpm. The baby has

been intubated and the endotracheal tube insertion depth is correct. You can see chest

movement with PPV and hear bilateral breath sounds, but the colorimetric CO2 detector

does not turn yellow. What is the likely reason for this?

- Low cardiac output.

According to the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th edition algorithm, at what

point during resuscitation is a cardiac monitor recommended to assess the baby's heart

rate?

- When an alternative airway is inserted

What size laryngoscope blade is recommended to intubate a preterm newborn with an

estimated gestational age of 32 weeks (estimated birth weight of 1.4 kg)?

- 0

Even brief interruptions of chest compressions may significantly reduce their

effectiveness, but it is also important to assess the need to continue chest

compressions. What is the preferred way to assess the heart rate during chest

compressions?

- Briefly interrupt chest compressions every 60 seconds to assess the heart rate using

the cardiac monitor.

Your team is resuscitating a newborn at birth. The heart rate is low and the baby has

poor perfusion. Which is the preferred method to assess the heart rate?

- Cardiac monitor

When are chest compressions indicated?

- When the heart rate remains less than 60 bpm after at least 30 seconds of PPV that

moves the chest, preferably through an alternative airway

After 60 seconds of PPV coordinated with chest compressions, the cardiac monitor

indicates a heart rate of 70 beats per minute. What is your next action?

- Stop chest compressions and continue PPV.
