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
