Which of the following is NOT a component of RAPs?

• A. Trigger legends
• B. Minimum Data Set
• C. RAPs analysis
• D. RAPs summary sheet

Answer: (B)

RAPs are a rapid quality-analytic process used in nutrition support to quickly identify and address nutrition-related issues. The trigger legends are predefined flags that prompt a RAP review when certain clinical or lab criteria appear, signaling that a patient’s nutrition plan may need closer inspection. When a chart is flagged, the RAPs analysis is the quick, structured review of the patient’s nutrition support plan, labs, medications, and goals to decide whether adjustments are needed and who should take action. The RAPs summary sheet then consolidates the findings and recommended interventions so the care team can see what was found and what should happen next. The Minimum Data Set is not part of RAPs; it’s a broader data collection tool used in other settings (such as long-term care) and isn’t a component of the RAPs process.
