FINAL EXAM-TRAUMA CARE EXAM
WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2026
a method of classifying patients into five categories based on the severity of their
conditions and resource needs.
1—Resuscitation—immediate treatment is necessary
2—Emergent—may deteriorate rapidly, time sensitive
3—urgent---non-life-threatening, needs more than 2 resources
4—non-urgent—non-life-threatening, one resource required
5—minor—non-life-threatening, no resources required - ANSWERSEmergency Severity
