Client with full-thickness burns on 72% of body
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting a disaster preparedness drill with a group of nurses who are orienting to the facility. Which of the following triage tag colors should the nurse instruct the group to apply to a client who has full thickness burns on 72% of his body?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Black. In disaster triage, the black tag is used for patients with severe injuries that are not survivable given the resources available. Full thickness burns on 72% of the body indicate extensive and critical injuries with a very low chance of survival.
Therefore, applying a black tag to this patient signifies that they are not a priority for immediate care and resources should be allocated to patients with a higher chance of survival.
Incorrect choices:
A: Green - indicates minor injuries or illnesses, not appropriate for severe burns.
B: Yellow - indicates delayed care, which is not suitable for a patient with such extensive burns.
D: Red - indicates immediate care for critical but survivable injuries, not appropriate for a patient with such a high percentage of full thickness burns.
