Rationale 1: One method to improve communication and collaboration with patient care is the use of a huddle. The patient’s status would dictate if a code would need to be called at this time. (See Page 157 Daily Huddles)
Rationale 2: One method to improve communication and collaboration with patient care is the use of a huddle. (See Page 157 Daily Huddles)
