A nurse who is working as part of a disaster response team is performing triage at a mass casualty incident. One of the victims has a sucking chest wound. The nurse would triage this client using which color-coded tag?
Answer: Red
Explanation:
A client with a sucking chest wound is triaged as needing immediate care and would be tagged red. Clients with injuries that are significant and require immediate care but can wait hours without threat to life or limb would be tagged yellow. Clients with minor injuries would be tagged green. Clients with injuries that are extensive and whose chances of survival are unlikely even with definitive care are tagged black.
