What is another name used for the Rapid Response Team (RRT) in the material?

• A. Medical Emergency Team (MET)
• B. Rapid Response Team (RRT)
• C. Critical Care Team
• D. Observation Team

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is the naming convention used for a rapid response capability. In the material, the Rapid Response Team is referred to as a Medical Emergency Team, abbreviated MET. This name signals the same function: a fast-onset, on-site assessment and stabilization of a patient showing signs of acute deterioration, with escalation as needed to prevent cardiac or respiratory arrest. Other options don’t fit because they imply different scopes—Critical Care Team suggests ongoing, intensive care involvement rather than a dedicated rapid response, Observation Team implies only monitoring, and repeating the term Rapid Response Team is not a different name.
