Triage

Triage involves the rapid assessment and prioritization of
patients. Compare the three-tiered system of triage to the Mass Casualty
Incident (MCI) triage philosophy. Imagine that you are the Triage Nurse during
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?

10-year-old boy with massive head injury, no spontaneous
breathing, BP 60 palp

22-year-old female with a close fracture of the left arm

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’
opinions? What would you urge them to consider when making the triage
determination?
