C- shock Client C reporting with shock is identified with a red tag, indicating an immediate threat to life. The client with massive head trauma is labeled with a black tag, which indicates the client is deceased or is expected to die, so treatment will not be provided in order to maximize resources to save the most clients possible. The client reporting with an open fracture with distal pulse is triaged as class 3 where the treatment is considered urgent but less so than for a red-tagged client. Strains and contusions are minor injuries and are considered nonurgent; client D should be triaged as class III.
