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.

Client belonging to class I Class I clients are emergent clients who are marked with red tag. These clients have an immediate threat to life and need attention first. Class II clients have major injuries and need treatment within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Class III clients have minor injuries and can be treated in a delayed manner. Class IV clients are those who are expected to die or are dead.

Which clients belong to class I according to the disaster triage tag system? A Clients who can wait a short time for treatment B Clients who are dead or expected to die Correct C Clients who need emergency treatment Incorrect D Clients who have no urgent need for treatment

Clients who need emergency treatment Emergent clients are identified with red tags and belong to class I according to the disaster triage tag system.

IGM IgM (immunoglobulin M) is the first antibody formed by a newly sensitized B-lymphocyte plasma cell. IgA has very low circulating levels and is responsible for preventing infection in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, and the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.

Standing by holding on to furniture is accomplished by most infants between 8 and 10 months of age.
