What does a Green Tag signify in an MCI?

Immediate care needed
Contaminated patients
Minimal injury, walking wounded
Priority for urgent medical intervention

The correct answer is: Minimal injury, walking wounded

In the context of a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI), a Green Tag signifies "minimal injury" and identifies those victims who are classified as the walking wounded. These individuals have sustained injuries that are not life-threatening and do not require immediate medical attention. This categorization allows first responders to prioritize care and resources more effectively during an MCI. By sorting victims into varying triage categories, responders can ensure that those with the most severe injuries (represented by different tags such as Red for immediate care) receive assistance first. The use of a Green Tag helps streamline the treatment process by clearly distinguishing those who can wait for help without jeopardizing their chances of recovery. Understanding this system is crucial for EMTs, as it aids in managing patient care during overwhelming situations, ensuring the best possible outcomes for all involved.
