NRP Practice Test (Neonatal Resuscitation)

The NRP Practice Test (Neonatal Resuscitation) is a free advanced-level, 25-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests knowledge of neonatal resuscitation — preparation and initial steps, positive-pressure ventilation, alternative airways and oxygen management, chest compressions and medications, and special situations and post-resuscitation care — written to the AAP Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) algorithm and the AHA/AAP neonatal resuscitation guidelines current in 2026. Educational only; not a substitute for an official NRP course or local protocols. Score 70% or more on its 25 questions to earn a verifiable NRP Knowledge certificate (SOA-NRP). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) and NRP algorithm (American Academy of Pediatrics), 2025 American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines for Neonatal Resuscitation (AHA and AAP) — and each answer is explained with its source.
