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

before they suffer either respiratory or cardiac arrest. Since the client has manifested a significant change, the

nurse s hould call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status, heart rate, and pain are particularly si

gnificant. Documentation is vital, but the nurse must do more than document. The primary care provider shou
