Class 1 Neuropsychiatric Patients travel under which precedence?

Movement precedence is about how quickly a patient must be transported. Routine means the patient is stable and does not have an immediate life-threatening issue, so they can be moved on the standard schedule without special urgency. For Class 1 neuropsychiatric patients, stability typically allows for routine transport rather than urgent or priority evacuation, which are reserved for patients with time-sensitive or deteriorating conditions. The urgent/priorities are used when there is a risk to life or mission, which isn’t indicated here. The option “All” isn’t accurate because not every patient fits every precedence; transport priority is determined by medical condition and mission needs.
