For which of the following patients would the nurse request the rapid response team's immediate intervention?

A) A patient complaining of severe postoperative incisional pain
B) A patient with no pulse who is not breathing
C) A patient complaining of chest pain,hypotension,and shortness of breath
D) A patient with blood pressure of 164/96 mm Hg

The nurse would request the rapid response team's immediate intervention for the patient with chest pain,hypotension,and shortness of breath to prevent a potentially life-threatening situation.A patient with postoperative pain can be successfully treated by the nurse on the unit and does not require the rapid response team.If the patient has no pulse and no respirations,the nurse should call the arrest team,not the rapid response team.The nurse should call the primary care provider for the patient who is hypertensive.
