After a mass casualty event, which client will the nurse triage with a yellow tag? 1.25 Points

A. This client would be triaged red or black depending on the setting. Extensive third-degree burns over 80% of the body are life-threatening, often requiring immediate advanced care (red) or may be considered unsalvageable in a mass casualty setting (black) if resources are limited. B. Closed fractures are serious but not immediately life-threatening. In mass casualty triage, this client would receive a yellow tag (delayed), meaning treatment can be delayed while priority is given to more critical patients. C. Respiratory distress indicates a high-acuity condition, requiring immediate intervention. This client would be tagged red (immediate priority). D. Abrasions and contusions are minor injuries, usually triaged green (minimal), meaning care can be delayed significantly and the patient is considered walking wounded.
