Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is triaging four clients following a mass casualty event. To which of the following clients should the nurse assign a red tag?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A client who has a compromised airway. Assigning a red tag indicates the client needs immediate attention and has life-threatening injuries. A compromised airway can lead to rapid deterioration and death if not addressed promptly, making it the priority. Brief loss of consciousness (
A) may not indicate immediate danger. Major burns (
B) require urgent care but may not lead to imminent death like an obstructed airway. Fixed pupils (
C) suggest neurological issues but may not be immediately life-threatening. In this scenario, ensuring a patent airway is crucial for the client's survival, warranting a red tag assignment.
