What is a primary goal during patient transport?

The primary goal during patient transport is to prevent the situation from worsening. This involves monitoring the patient's vital signs, providing necessary interventions in response to changes in their condition, and ensuring they are stable throughout the transport process. The EMT's focus is on providing high-quality patient care, assessing for any new symptoms, and making timely decisions about further treatment or resource needs. This proactive approach is critical in mitigating potential complications that could arise during transport.

Other options, such as ensuring sedation or minimizing communication, do not align with the primary goal of patient safety and stability. While documentation is important for continuity of care, it should not take precedence over the actual care and condition of the patient during transport.
