In which scenario would you be able to transport/move a dead body?

In the context of transporting or moving a deceased individual, the primary concern lies in adhering to legal and investigative protocols. The correct choice involves obtaining permission from the coroner. The coroner is responsible for determining the cause of death and overseeing the legal aspects associated with a deceased person, particularly in circumstances that may be suspicious. Without their authorization, moving a body could violate legal procedures and impede a potential investigation.

While protecting the body and assessing the patient are significant in their own right, they do not necessarily grant the authority to move a deceased individual. Protecting the body is more about preserving the scene for investigation, and assessing a patient implies that there may still be life, which would not apply in the case of a confirmed deceased person. Therefore, the most appropriate and legally sound action is to secure the necessary permission from the coroner before any transport or movement of the body occurs.
