One of the outcomes of debriefs in investigations is which of the following?

• A. Feasible options as stages
• B. The main objective is to determine blame
• C. Outcome and learning points from debriefs
• D. Immediate action without follow-up

Answer: (C)

Debriefs are used after an investigation to capture what happened, assess how things were handled, and turn that into actionable lessons and recommendations. This is the best fit because the purpose of a debrief is to produce outcomes and learning points that can improve future investigations, pace, or protocols, not to assign blame. It’s also a prompt for follow-up actions and changes, rather than an end in itself. The other options don’t align with this learning-focused aim: debriefs aren’t about establishing blame, they aren’t primarily about listing possible stages, and they do lead to concrete actions and follow-up rather than stopping at immediate, no-follow-up steps.
