    Crash carts are checked and documented through the use of the defibrillator/Crash Cart Checklist.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Crash carts are essential emergency equipment in healthcare settings, containing various medical supplies and equipment needed to respond to medical emergencies. To ensure their readiness, crash carts are regularly checked and documented. The use of the defibrillator/Crash Cart Checklist is an efficient way to perform this task. This checklist helps healthcare professionals systematically assess and document the condition and availability of the crash cart's contents, including the defibrillator. By using this checklist, healthcare providers can ensure that crash carts are properly stocked and functioning, ready to be used in emergency situations. Therefore, the statement that crash carts are checked and documented through the use of the defibrillator/Crash Cart Checklist is true.

    Explanation
    Patients with early signs of clinical deterioration and risk for cardiopulmonary arrest or other adverse events require immediate intervention and close monitoring.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Patients and/or family members who are concerned about a change in their loved one's condition should ask the assigned nurse to call a Rapid Response Team (RRT). This is because RRTs are specially trained to respond quickly to any sudden deterioration in a patient's condition. By involving the RRT, the patient can receive immediate assessment and intervention, potentially preventing further complications or even saving their life. It is important for patients and their families to be proactive in advocating for their loved one's healthcare and to seek help when they feel it is necessary.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the nurse is responsible for monitoring the patient's condition and identifying any changes that require immediate attention.

    • True

    A Code Black is a term used in emergency situations, particularly in hospitals, to indicate a bomb threat. This code is activated when there is a credible threat of a bomb or explosive device in the vicinity. It is a security measure taken to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors. During a Code Black, specific protocols are followed, such as evacuating the area, conducting thorough searches, and alerting appropriate authorities.
