Which emergency situation does Code White directly address?

Code White directly addresses an active shooter situation within a healthcare setting. This code is specifically designated to alert staff and initiate a rapid response to ensure the safety of patients, visitors, and employees during a dangerous incident involving an individual with a firearm or weapon who poses an imminent threat.

In the case of an active shooter, a Code White signals a detailed protocol that involves securing the area, protecting individuals, and coordinating law enforcement response. Understanding this distinction is crucial for healthcare professionals, who must be prepared to act swiftly and efficiently to protect lives in such critical scenarios. The other options represent different emergency situations with distinct protocols that do not directly align with the specific concern of an active shooter event.
