The Rapid Response Team (RRT)saves lives and decreases the risk for harm by providing care to clients before a respiratory or cardiac arrest occurs.Although the RRT does not replace the Code Team,which responds to client arrests,it intervenes rapidly for those who are beginning to decline clinically.It would be appropriate for the RRT to intervene when the 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 change in the client's status after a medication change would not be considered activities of the Rapid Response Team.
