Triage - TST public responder — DipIMC MCQ

Correct answer: B — Priority 3

Priority 3 is the best answer because walking casualties with controlled minor bleeding are delayed priority. Untriaged is less appropriate because leaving the casualty untriaged undermines casualty flow and command; Priority 1 is less appropriate because Priority 1 indicates immediate life-saving treatment or evacuation. Priority 2 and Dead 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.
