Place a disaster tag securely on each victim

numbered to indicate triage priority. They include the client's name, address, and age, as well as a
description and location of the client's injuries

4. Which of the following clients would be given a red tag? (Select all)

-A client whose vitals signs are as follows: RR 22, HR 120, BP 85/52
*Client is going into shock and should be seen immediately*

-A client with a pulsating femur wound
*client has an arterial bleed and can go into shock and therefore should be seen immediately**

-A client with full-thickness burns over 50% of the body
*client should be attended to immediately*

5. Into which triage category should David be placed?

Red—Most urgent; first priority

First-priority patients have life-threatening injuries and are experiencing hypoxia or nearing hypoxia.
Examples of injuries in this category include shock, chest wounds, internal hemorrhage, head injuries
producing increased loss of consciousness, partial- or full-thickness burns over 20% to 60% of the body
surface, and chest pain.

Yellow—Urgent; second priority

Second-priority patients have injuries with systemic effects and complications but are not yet hypoxic or
in shock. The patients appear stable enough to withstand up to a 2-hour wait without immediate risk.
Examples of injuries in this category include multiple fractures, open fractures, spinal injuries, large
lacerations, partial- or full-thickness burns over 10% to 20% of the body surface, and medical
emergencies, such as diabetic coma, insulin shock, and epileptic seizure. Patients with second-priority
status might need to be observed closely for signs of shock, at which time they would be re-categorized
to first priority.

Green—Third priority
