During a facility-wide evacuation due to a fire, where should a CNA take an ambulatory patient?

Question

Accepted Answer

To the nearest exit and then to the designated assembly area. During evacuation, the CNA should proceed to the nearest exit and then move to the designated assembly area as instructed in the facility's fire plan. Patient safety is the priority—not gathering belongings. The designated assembly area, not the cafeteria or parking lot randomly, is where staff account for all patients and receive further instructions.
