Which triage tag is used for Minor injuries?

• A. Red triage tag (Immediate)
• B. Green triage tag (Minor)
• C. Yellow triage tag (Delayed)
• D. Black triage tag (Deceased)

Answer: (B)

In mass casualty triage, color-coded tags quickly show treatment priority. A green tag is given to patients with minor injuries who are ambulatory and can wait for care without immediate danger to life. They typically require minimal resources and can be treated after those in more urgent need. The other colors indicate higher priorities: red for immediate life-threatening conditions, yellow for delayed but urgent care, and black for deceased or unsalvageable cases. So for minor injuries, the green tag is the appropriate choice.
