Triage - Chemical incident decontamination — DipIMC MCQ

Correct answer: C — Priority 2

Priority 2 is the best answer because non-walking casualty with stable perfusion and obeying commands is urgent priority. Priority 3 is less appropriate because Priority 3 indicates delayed care for walking or stable casualties; Untriaged is less appropriate because leaving the casualty untriaged undermines casualty flow and command. Dead and Priority 1 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.
