minute after resuscitative efforts and pulses are weak. Which statement best describes the ethical principle(s) that guide the resuscitation of a newborn? The ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, and justice are used for adults and older children, but they do not apply to newborns. The baby is a minor and all decisions regarding resuscitation should be made during an emergency meeting of the hospital ethics committee. The approach to decisions in the newborn should be guided by the same principles used for adults and older children. All decisions regarding resuscitation are made by the health care providers, and parents
do not participate in decision making. - Correct answer The approach to decisions in
the newborn should be guided by the same principles used for adults and older children When coordinating positive-pressure ventilation with chest compressions, how many events are performed each minute? 60 breaths, 120 compressions

Which of the following statements about post-resuscitation care is true? All babies with prenatal and intrapartum risk factors for resuscitation must be removed from their mother's room and observed in a nursery setting. Babies who required resuscitation after birth should be bathed immediately to stimulate breathing and decrease the risk of low body temperature (hypothermia). Babies who required positive-pressure ventilation after delivery rarely require additional respiratory support and do not need additional assessment and monitoring. Among babies with brain injury from decreased oxygen and blood flow to the brain (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy), high body temperature (hyperthermia) may worsen
neurologic outcomes. - Correct answer Among babies with brain injury from
decreased oxygen and blood flow to the brain (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy), high body temperature (hyperthermia) may worsen neurologic outcomes. You are in the delivery room caring for a preterm newborn at 27 weeks' gestation. The baby is 5 minutes old and breathing spontaneously. The baby's heart rate is 120 beats per minute and the oxygen saturation is 90% in room air. The baby's respirations are labored. Which of the following is an appropriate action? Provide vigorous stimulation on the back, trunk, and extremities Provide supplemental oxygen to rapidly increase the baby's oxygen saturation above 95% Administer positive-pressure ventilation with an initial inflation pressure of 30 to 35 cm H
Administer CPAP at 5 cm H20 pressure - Correct answer Administer CPAP at 5 cm
H20 pressure How soon after administration of intravenous epinephrine should you pause compressions and reassess the baby's heart rate? 10 to 16 seconds 5 minutes 1 minute
30 seconds - Correct answer 1 minute
After what duration of time might it be reasonable to consider discontinuing resuscitation following complete resuscitation efforts with no detectable heart rate? 10 minutes 20 minutes 5 minutes
30 minutes - Correct answer 10 minutes
A mother had an emergency cesarean birth at 39 weeks' gestational because of sudden fetal bradycardia and a suspected placental abruption. After birth, the baby required extensive resuscitation including positive pressure ventilation, intubation, chest
The resuscitation team alone will make the appropriate decision after birth. No resuscitation will be started under any circumstances.
The option of providing comfort care can be considered. - Correct answer The option
of providing comfort care can be considered. A baby born at 36 weeks' gestation was apneic after birth and required positive- pressure ventilation and oxygen supplementation in the delivery room. He continues to require supplemental oxygen after birth. Which of the following statements is true? If he has continuing respiratory distress, sodium bicarbonate should be infused immediately. His parents should be discouraged from seeing or touching him after birth because it may agitate him and cause additional complications. His blood pressure does not need to be monitored because hypotension (low blood pressure) does not occur after resuscitation. His blood glucose level should be checked soon after resuscitation and then at regular
intervals until stable and normal. - Correct answer His blood glucose level should be
checked soon after resuscitation and then at regular intervals until stable and normal. You are in the delivery room caring for a preterm newborn at 27 weeks' gestation. Resuscitation has been completed and the baby is ready to be transported to the neonatal intensive care unit. Which of the following is a true statement about the baby's subsequent care? Apnea and bradycardia are uncommon, self-limited and no monitoring is required. Monitor blood glucose levels because of the risk of hypoglycemia after birth. Maintain the baby's body temperature above 38 ºC (100.4 ºF). Position the baby's legs higher than the baby's head (Trendelenburg position) to
decrease the chance of neurologic injury. - Correct answer Monitor blood glucose
levels because of the risk of hypoglycemia after birth. After chest compressions with coordinated ventilations are started, the heart rate should be assessed: After 60 seconds After 90 seconds When spontaneous respirations return
After 30 seconds - Correct answer After 60 seconds
A newborn requires complex resuscitation. You have intubated and are administering positive-pressure ventilation and chest compressions. Which 3 signs are used to evaluate the effectiveness of your actions, and the need to continue one or both of these measures?

oxygen saturation
A woman is admitted at 24 weeks' gestation with rupture of membranes, maternal fever, and premature labor. The care team offers the parents counseling. What is likely to be helpful? Assure parents that you can accurately determine the baby's prognosis immediately after birth. Wait to speak with mother until she has received a sedative to relieve her anxiety. The obstetric provider and neonatologist should meet separately with the parents because of their different perspectives. Provide parents with accurate prognostic information using all relevant information
affecting their baby's prognosis. - Correct answer Provide parents with accurate
prognostic information using all relevant information affecting their baby's prognosis. Which of the following is true about the preparation and resources needed for a very preterm birth? The delivery room temperature should be decreased to approximately 65ºF to 66ºF (18.3ºC to 18.8ºC). A size-1 laryngoscope and size 3.5-mm endotracheal tube should be prepared for the initial intubation attempt. Personnel skilled in intubation and umbilical catheter placement may be on call at home. Prepare the preheated radiant warmer with a thermal mattress, plastic wrap or bag, and
a hat. - Correct answer Prepare the preheated radiant warmer with a thermal
mattress, plastic wrap or bag, and a hat.
