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?
A) Green
B) Yellow
C) Black
D) Red
Correct Answer: C
Rationale
In disaster triage, a client with full-thickness burns on 72% of the
body would be classified as black (expectant) because the injuries
are likely unsurvivable given the resources available in a mass
casualty event. Option A is incorrect because green is for minor
,injuries. Option B is incorrect because yellow is for serious but non-
life-threatening injuries. Option D is incorrect because red is for life-
threatening injuries that are survivable with immediate intervention.

sessions

advocacy. Option C is incorrect because providing assistance is a
nursing intervention, not advocacy. Option D is incorrect because
reorientation is a nursing intervention, not advocacy.

is incorrect because epithelialization indicates healing.
