Triage - Snake bite UK adder — DipIMC MCQ

Correct answer: D — Priority 3

Priority 3 is the best answer because a walking stable casualty is delayed priority while immediate threats are treated. Dead is less appropriate because dead category requires absence of signs of life after simple checks; Priority 2 is less appropriate because Priority 2 is used for urgent but not immediate treatment. Priority 1 and Expectant 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.
