    Correct Answer
    A. A. ACLS Certified RN, Respiratory Therapist, EKG Tech
    Explanation
    In a hospital setting, a Code Blue is an emergency situation that typically refers to a cardiac arrest. The correct answer, option A, includes healthcare professionals who are trained and certified in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), which is a set of protocols and skills specifically designed for managing cardiac emergencies. This includes ACLS Certified RNs (Registered Nurses) who have received specialized training in advanced cardiac life support, Respiratory Therapists who are trained in airway management and providing respiratory support, and EKG Techs who are skilled in interpreting and monitoring cardiac rhythms. These professionals are essential in responding to a Code Blue and providing immediate care to the patient.

    The explanation for the given correct answer is that if non-violent, non-self-destructive restraints are removed and the patient meets the criteria for re-restraint within minutes, the RN cannot simply reapply them based on the original order. The RN must reassess the patient and obtain a new order for restraints before reapplying them. This is important to ensure that the patient's current condition and need for restraints are properly evaluated and documented. Therefore, the statement is false.
