Which phase involves moving from the scene toward the ambulance station?

• A. En route to call
• B. Arrive
• C. En route to station
• D. Postrun

Answer: (C)

The movement from the scene back toward the ambulance station is the return-to-base phase. After completing patient care and transferring responsibility, the crew heads back to the station to restock, clean and rest equipment, and prepare for the next call. This travel is distinct from going to the scene (en route to call), reaching the scene or hospital (arrive), or the activities after returning (postrun). So the phase described is en route to the station.
