QUESTION 19 OF 25
What would be your response to hearing a code being called in the middle of the night as you’re getting ready to go home after attending a patient?
This is a no-brainer question. Of course you would respond. It is tempting to assume that certainly someone else would be there to respond, and that is typically true, but you don't want to be seen as the type of person who would need to hear the code called repeatedly before you responded.
"Unless managing a clinically unstable situation or in the middle of a procedure, I would respond. As a cardiologist, I know that I would probably be the most qualified person there to manage the code. I personally feel that in cardiology, a code requires my mandatory participation until proven otherwise."
