Answer: Minor and treatment can be delayed hours to days


Explanation:

A green triage tag (priority 3 or minimal) indicates injuries that are minor and treatment can be delayed hours to days. A red triage tag (priority 1 or immediate) indicates injuries that are life threatening but survivable with minimal intervention. A yellow triage tag (priority 2 or delayed) indicates injuries that are significant and require medical care, but can wait hours without threat to life or limb. A black triage tag (priority 4 or expectant) indicates injuries that are extensive and chances of survival are unlikely even with definitive care.
