Correct answer: CPriority 3

Priority 3 is the best answer because walking wounded with no immediate threat are delayed priority. Priority 2 is less appropriate because Priority 2 indicates urgent care after immediate casualties are managed; Dead is less appropriate because dead triage requires no signs of life after simple airway assessment. Priority 1 and Untriaged are also suboptimal because they move attention away from the key pre-hospital priority.. The key DipIMC principle is to treat immediate reversible threats, communicate clearly and move the patient toward the right definitive care.
