,The nurse is planning to triage clients after a disaster. Which client does the nurse
categorize into the green-tagged category?
1
Client A

Client B
3
Client C
Correct4
Client D
The disaster triage tag system categorizes triage priority by color. Clients with minor injuries that can be
managed in a delayed fashion are categorized as greentagged. Therefore client D with bruises and
lacerations on the skin is greentagged. Client A, with the lifethreatening condition of an airway
obstruction is redtagged. Client B with large wounds and open fractures needs treatment within 30
minutes to 2 hours and is yellowtagged. Client C with critical massive head trauma is blacktagged.
TestTaking Tip: Chart/exhibit items present a situation and ask a question. A variety of objective and
subjective information is presented about the client in formats such as the medical record (e.g., laboratory
test results, results of diagnostic procedures, progress notes, healthcare provider orders, medication
,administration record, health history), physical assessment data, and assistant/client interactions. After
analyzing the information presented, the test taker answers the question. These questions usually reflect
the analyzing level of cognitive thinking.
In a clinical exam, you may be expected to select instruments, arrange instruments, and/or perform some
other task. Acquaint yourself with the physical facility. If the required procedures are not clear to you, ask
for clarification.

, The nurse is assessing four clients in the hospital. Which client should the nurse
categorize in an emergent level according to the three-tiered triage system?
Correct1
Client A
2
Client B
3
Client C
4
Client D
The threetiered triage system classifies clients into three levels based on their conditions. The emergent
level includes those clients who are in a lifethreatening condition and need immediate treatment. Client A
has respiratory distress, which is a lifethreatening condition and is, therefore, categorized in the
emergent level. The urgent level includes those clients that need quick treatment but do not have life
threatening complications. Client B has multiple fractures, which are not lifethreatening but need quick
treatment and is, therefore, categorized an urgent level. Client C has sprains and strains, which do not
require immediate treatment, and the client is categorized in the nonurgent level. Client D has a cold,
which does not require immediate treatment and is categorized in a nonurgent level.
