What is the correct order for evacuation during a fire in a healthcare facility?

Question

Accepted Answer

Patients nearest the fire first, then move outward, then staff leaves last. The correct evacuation order is based on proximity to danger: patients nearest the fire are evacuated first, then move outward in a controlled pattern, and staff leaves last after ensuring all patients have been evacuated. This minimizes risk to the most vulnerable. The other options do not prioritize based on immediate danger or leave staff present to assist patients.
