Question 19 • Sports Medicine 1a

At a local sporting event, healthcare workers are using a triage system. What does this MOST likely mean?

Answer
A
There are several coaches being trained in CPR and AEDs.
B
They are trying to make the sporting event aseptic.
C
There are multiple athletes who require medical care.
D
They are ensuring all medical equipment is in operational order.

Explanation

Triage is the process of assessing and prioritizing people who need medical attention, especially when several people may be injured or ill. At a sporting event, using a triage system most likely means multiple athletes require medical care and workers are deciding who needs help first. It does not mean training coaches, making the venue aseptic, or checking equipment.
