Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I (Triage Priority Colour Code)	List - II (Condition of a Patient)
A. Red Colour B. Yellow Colour C. Green Colour D. Black Colour	I. Dead II. Need immediate resuscitation III. Need to be evacuated after priority-1 case IV. Ambulatory cases or who can wait or can be treated locally

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

Hint:

Triage colours: Red = Immediate, Yellow = Delayed, Green = Minor, Black = Dead.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Triage colour coding is used during emergencies and disasters to prioritize patients according to severity of condition and urgency of treatment. Common triage colour codes are:
• Red: Immediate treatment/resuscitation required
• Yellow: Delayed treatment but requires observation
• Green: Minor injuries; ambulatory patients
• Black: Dead or beyond recovery

Step 1: Match Red Colour.
Red colour indicates patients needing immediate life-saving intervention or resuscitation. Hence, \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Match Yellow Colour.
Yellow colour indicates delayed priority cases to be treated after critical cases. Hence, \[ B \rightarrow III \]

Step 3: Match Green Colour.
Green colour represents ambulatory patients with minor injuries who can wait or be treated locally. Hence, \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Match Black Colour.
Black colour is assigned to dead or non-survivable cases. Hence, \[ D \rightarrow I \]

Step 5: Select the correct option.
Thus, the correct matching is: \[ A-II,\; B-III,\; C-IV,\; D-I \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)\ A-II,\; B-III,\; C-IV,\; D-I} \]
