1. In a mass casualty incident, which of the following

patients should be prioritized for immediate treatment?

A) A conscious patient with severe bleeding from a minor

laceration.

B) A conscious patient with respiratory distress and no

obvious injuries.

C) An unconscious patient with a deformity in their lower

limb and moderate bleeding.

D) A conscious patient with a small laceration and mild

pain.

Answer: B) A conscious patient with respiratory distress

and no obvious injuries.

Rationale: In the triage process, patients with lifethreatening conditions should be prioritized for immediate

treatment. The patient in option B is experiencing

respiratory distress, indicating potential airway

compromise, which takes precedence over other injuries.

2. A patient presents with an amputated finger that is

actively bleeding. What is the recommended action for

immediate triage management?

A) Place a tourniquet proximal to the amputated finger.

B) Control the bleeding by direct pressure to the amputated

site
