Unit 8: Emergency Preparedness — Final exam

Question 3 • Sports Medicine 1a

At the sight of an accident involving a van full of tennis players, a first responder uses the START system to triage the athletes. Roberta is coded as yellow. What does this MOST likely mean for Roberta?

Answer
A
She is deceased.
B
She has a serious injury that isn’t life-threatening.
C
She can walk because she only has minor injuries.
D
She has several severe injuries that require immediate attention.

Explanation

In START triage, yellow means the person has injuries that need medical care but can safely wait because treatment is not immediately life-saving. Roberta is therefore most likely seriously injured without a life-threatening condition; green means minor injuries, red means immediate attention, and black means deceased.
