NBRC NPS Practice Test with Latest Exam Questions 2026

The Neonatal Pediatric Specialist credential from NBRC recognizes therapists caring for neonates and children.

The National Board for Respiratory Care is the credentialing body for respiratory therapists in the United States. Its entry and advanced practice exams are required for licensure in most states, and the specialty credentials recognize advanced expertise in areas such as adult critical care, neonatal and pediatric care, pulmonary function testing, sleep and asthma education.

Because Neonatal/Pediatric Specialist is used by employers, boards and credentialing bodies as evidence of competence, preparation deserves a structured plan. Most questions are written as short clinical scenarios, so understanding why an answer is correct matters more than memorizing lists.

The Neonatal/Pediatric Specialist credential is built from a job or practice analysis, so the exam reflects the knowledge professionals actually use with patients and clients. Passing it is often required for licensure, employment or board certification, and it signals to employers that you meet a nationally recognized standard.

Here is how the main areas break down. Patient Data covers maternal and perinatal history; and neonatal and pediatric assessment. Within Equipment, candidates should be comfortable with ventilators, CPAP, oxygen devices and monitoring. Therapeutic Procedures focuses on airway management, ventilation, surfactant, nitric oxide. The Neonatal Disorders area includes RDS, BPD, PPHN, MAS.

Candidates preparing for NBRC-NPS usually benefit from a topic by topic schedule. Allow roughly 6 weeks, giving each major area its own block: begin with Patient Data, continue with Equipment, Therapeutic Procedures and Neonatal Disorders, and finish with Pediatric Conditions; and Resuscitation and Transport. Write short notes for each area in your own words and revisit them regularly. Close your preparation with at least two complete timed practice sessions and a careful review of every missed question.

Many candidates preparing for NBRC-NPS find that spaced repetition works well for facts such as drug classes, lab values and diagnostic criteria, while case based practice questions build clinical reasoning. Combine both, and leave the final weeks for full length timed practice.

Questions on NBRC-NPS are often long clinical vignettes. Practice reading the last line of the question first, then scanning the case for the details that matter. This habit saves time and reduces the chance of being distracted by irrelevant information.
