V142/76 mm Hg 30 minutes ago, and now is 88/50 mm Hg. What action would the nurse take

, CORRECT ANSWER: A V V




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




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




V significant change, the nurse would call the RRT. Changes in blood pressure, mental status,
V V V V V V V V V V V V V




V heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and last 2 hours’ urine output are particularly
V V V V V V V V V V V V




V significant and are part of the Modified Early Warning System guide. Documentation is vital, but
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




V the nurse must do more than document. The primary health care provider would be notified,
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




V but this is not more important than calling the RRT. The client’s blood pressure would be
V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V




V reassessed frequently, but the priority is getting the rapid care to the client.

CORRECT ANSWER: A V V




Showing respect for the client and family’s preferences and needs is essential to ensure a

V holistic or “whole-person” approach to care. By assessing the effect of the client’s culture on
