Which phase comes immediately before arriving at the facility?

• A. Arrive at facility
• B. En route to facility
• C. Transfer of patient to ambulance
• D. Postrun

Answer: (B)

The phase you’re in just before reaching the facility is the transit period while you’re en route to the facility. This is the transport phase that follows leaving the scene (or transfer from one location to another) and precedes arrival, during which you continue patient care, monitor vitals, and coordinate with the receiving facility for handoff. Arrive at facility happens after you’ve reached the location and are ready to hand the patient off. Transfer of patient to the ambulance occurs at the moment you move the patient from the scene to the ambulance (or from a stretcher to the hospital stretcher area), not the moment just before arrival. Postrun is the after-action phase dealing with documentation and wrap-up.
