Code 902R refers to which response?

1. Rescue responding

2. Ambulance dispatched for a sick person

3. Traffic collision with injuries

4. Person sick or injured

The correct answer is: Rescue responding

Code 902R specifically denotes a scenario involving an incident requiring a rescue response. This means that the circumstances are urgent and necessitate immediate assistance, typically due to an individual being trapped or in a potentially life-threatening situation. When an officer or dispatcher uses code 902R, it signals to all units that they should respond promptly and prioritize the situation to ensure that the appropriate rescue services are deployed. This code is crucial for mobilizing the right resources to handle serious emergencies, which distinguishes it from other codes that might relate to medical calls or traffic incidents without the implication of a rescue operation being directly involved. While the other options address various medical situations or responses, they do not convey the same level of urgency required for rescue operations that Code 902R represents.
