The Rapid Response Team (RRT) saves lives and decreases the risk for harm by providing
bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit
care toclients before a respiratory or cardiac arrest occurs. Although the RRT does not
bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit
replace the Code Team, which responds to client arrests, it intervenes rapidly for those who are
bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit
beginning to declineclinically. It would be appropriate for the RRT to intervene when the
bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit
client has experienced a 52- point drop in blood pressure. Monitoring the client‘s

postoperative status, maintaining a postoperative flow sheet, and notifying the physician of a
bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit bjit
, change in the client‘s status after a medication change would not be considered activities of

the Rapid Response Team.
