Class 3 green tag is associated with which type of injuries?

• A. Deep lacerations
• B. Abrasion or sprains
• C. Full-thickness burns
• D. Minor contusions

Answer: (B)

In mass casualty triage, a green tag marks walking wounded—injuries that are not life-threatening and can wait for treatment after the most seriously injured are addressed. Abrasions or sprains fit this category because they’re minor and don’t require immediate life-saving interventions. People with green tags are typically able to move to safety or the treatment area on their own, allowing responders to prioritize those in more urgent need. Deep lacerations or full-thickness burns demand more urgent care and would not be tagged green, while minor contusions can sometimes fall into this category as well, the example that most clearly represents the green-tag pattern is an abrasion or sprain.
