What triage tag should be applied to a client with a minor ankle sprain during a disaster drill?

In the context of disaster triage, the ability to categorize patients based on the urgency of their medical needs is essential. A client with a minor ankle sprain is not experiencing a life-threatening condition and does not require immediate medical intervention. Thus, this client should receive a green triage tag, which indicates a "minimal" or "walking wounded" status. Patients tagged green are stable and do not have an immediate risk of deteriorating health, meaning they can wait for treatment after more critical cases are addressed.

The green tag allows healthcare providers to prioritize more severe cases—those with urgent and life-threatening injuries—ensuring that resources are allocated effectively during a disaster situation.
