Description

AI1

(N, NRA1 − R)

Nurse at stage 1, continue with Nurse at stage 2 if responder, or switch to App at stage 2 if non-responder.

AI2

(N, NR(A + N)1 − R)

Nurse at stage 1, continue with Nurse at stage 2 if responder, or provide combination at stage 2 if non-responder.

AI3

(A, ARN1 − R)

App at stage 1, continue with App at stage 2 if responder, or switch to Nurse at stage 2 if non-responder.

AI4

(A, AR(A + N)1 − R)

App at stage 1, continue with App at stage 2 if responder, or provide combination at stage 2 if non-responder.
