You are triaging clients arriving at the hospital after a mass casualty. Which clients are correctly classified? (Select one, some or all that apply)

Rationale: A. A yellow (delayed) tag is appropriate because, although the injury is serious, the presence of distal pulses indicates adequate perfusion and no immediate life-threatening compromise. Treatment can be delayed without immediate risk to life. B. This client is critically injured with a high risk of hemorrhagic shock and airway compromise. He requires immediate intervention and should be tagged red (immediate), not yellow. C. Severe chest pain may indicate a life-threatening condition such as myocardial infarction or internal thoracic injury. Red tags are assigned to clients who require immediate care to survive. D. Respiratory distress and chest trauma suggest potential life-threatening injury (e.g., pulmonary contusion). This client should be classified as red (immediate), not green (minor). E. A scalp laceration, while it may bleed significantly, is generally not life-threatening if controlled. This client would more appropriately receive a green (minor) or possibly yellow tag, not black (expectant/deceased). F. Full-thickness burns are severe, potentially life-threatening injuries that require urgent or emergent care depending on extent. This client would not be classified as green (minor) and would more likely be red or possibly black if injuries are unsurvivable.
