in the event of an evacuation, patients must be evacuated in the following order
ambulatory, non - ambulatory then critical.
critical, non - ambulatory then ambulatory
non - ambulatory, ambulatory, then critical
critical, ambulatory, then non - ambulatory

Explanation:

In an evacuation, critical patients (those with life - threatening conditions) need immediate attention and movement as their survival may be more time - sensitive. Ambulatory patients (those who can walk) can move more independently and quickly compared to non - ambulatory patients (those who cannot walk without assistance). Once critical and ambulatory patients are evacuated, non - ambulatory patients (who may need more resources like stretchers, ramps etc. for evacuation) can be evacuated.

Answer:

Critical, ambulatory, then non - ambulatory
