Which phase involves moving from the facility back toward the station?

• A. Prep for the call
• B. En route to the call
• C. Arrive at facility
• D. En route to station

Answer: (D)

The phase is the return trip back to base after patient handoff. When you’ve finished at the facility and are driving back to the ambulance station to restock, reassess, and gear up for the next call, you’re en route to station. This is distinct from heading to the scene (en route to the call) or from the station to the facility (prep for the call or arrive at facility). So the movement from the facility toward the station fits this phase.
