Feedback:
In most facilities, the call signal in the client's bathroom causes an additional light to flash or a buzzer to sound at a central station. This emergency signal may be used by the client when experiencing difficulty while in the bathroom or by staff to request immediate assistance; for example, if the client experiences cardiac arrest. Staff must respond immediately to the emergency signal.
