Overview

As a member of the rapid response team, you face serious medical crises as they unfold, working tirelessly to save the day. From hemodynamic instability and arrhythmias to seizures, chest pain, altered mental status, and respiratory failure, each patient presents a complex puzzle to solve.

While rapid response is rewarding and fast-paced, it also carries significant risks. Join Cyndi Zarbano to uncover common pitfalls and learn practical strategies to avoid them.

Learning Objectives

  1. Determine how practice acts give direction to help avoid legal risks.
  2. Analyze ethical concepts as they relate to the rapid response role.
  3. Evaluate common documentation errors that increase liability risk during an emergency.
