In mass casualty incident triage, which color tag indicates walking wounded who can wait for transport?

• A. Red
• B. Green
• C. Yellow
• D. Black

Answer: (B)

In mass casualty triage, color tags quickly signal how urgent care and transport will be. The tag for walking wounded who can wait for transport is green. This reflects that they have minor injuries and don’t need immediate life-saving interventions; they can be moved or treated later. Prioritizing green-tagged patients frees up responders to focus on those in red, who need immediate care, while yellow-tagged patients have injuries that are serious but can wait a short time. Black signifies deceased or unsalvageable cases.
