Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Participating in a "code" (cardiac arrest response) involves multiple members of the healthcare team working together in a coordinated effort to provide lifesaving interventions. This is an example of interdependent nursing action, as each team member's role is crucial and relies on the actions of others. Giving a medication, bathing a patient, or inserting a Foley catheter are important nursing actions, but they can generally be performed independently by the nurse without reliance on others for assistance or coordination.
