When should you page Code Green?

• A. A medical emergency
• B. A Child is Missing
• C. A power outage
• D. A fire

Answer: (B)

Missing child incidents trigger Code Green. This alert mobilizes staff across the facility to conduct a rapid, coordinated search and security response to locate the child quickly. It signals security, nursing units, and support teams to initiate search procedures, verify the child’s last known location, secure exits as needed, and involve the family and front desk for swift recovery. Other situations use different codes—medical emergencies, fires, or power outages each have their own alerts—so Code Green is specifically the signal for a missing child.
