HESI 4 Critical Care MCA 3 Practice Test

In mass casualty triage, color tags guide how urgently patients need care. Green-tagged patients are the walking wounded with minor injuries who can tolerate delays in treatment. They aren’t in immediate danger, so resources focus first on those in red (life-threatening) and yellow (delayed but urgent). An example would be someone with a minor sprain or superficial cut who can wait without their condition worsening.

So the true statement is that green-tagged patients have minor injuries that can be delayed. They do not require immediate or urgent treatment, and they are not dealing with life-threatening conditions.
