High-speed rollover, one ejection, two partially restrained.

| Pitfall | Correct Answer | |---------|----------------| | Labeling a walking patient as “Minimal” without assessing for internal bleeding | Walking ≠ stable; abdominal exam and pulse check still needed. | | Calling every unconscious patient “Immediate” | Unconscious + signs of life → Red; unconscious + no spontaneous breathing after airway opening → Expectant in MCI. | | Using mechanism alone (e.g., fall from >20 ft) to assign Red | Mechanism is a modifier; combine with physiology. A walking patient with normal vitals after a 25-ft fall is for transport but requires full trauma evaluation. | | Over-triaging burns | Major burns with airway compromise → Red; isolated small burn → Green; >30% TBSA burn → Red if transport available. | triage scenarios with answers atls 10th edition
