an MCI. How will you categorize the following patients using the MCI triage
philosophy? Explain your answer. Are there any ethical issues that should be
considered?

breathing, BP 60 palp

60-year-old male with a laceration in the leg complaining of
shortness of breath
15-year-old girl with glass embedded in the eyes
52-year-old male with a pulse of 30 and a blood pressure of
70/30
For your response, do you agree with your classmates’
