The purpose of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) is to intervene when clients are deterior

ating before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significa

nt change, the nurse s hould call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and

pain are particularly significant. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. T
