The nurse understands that the rapid response teams (RRTS) have been implemented to function how? (Select all that apply)

Rationale: A. Rapid response teams ensure that timely interventions are available when a patient shows early signs of clinical deterioration, reducing the risk of cardiac or respiratory arrest. B. RRTs act as a unit-based resource team, providing expertise and support to bedside nurses when complex or urgent situations arise outside the ICU. C. RRTs are typically available 24/7, not limited to weekdays, because patient deterioration can occur at any time. Limiting availability to Monday–Friday would reduce effectiveness and delay critical interventions. D. One of the main goals of RRTs is to intervene before cardiac or respiratory arrest occurs, providing rapid assessment and treatment to stabilize the patient and prevent emergencies. E. RRTs help improve early recognition of patient deterioration by supporting staff, offering rapid assessment, and facilitating immediate interventions, which enhances patient safety and outcomes.
