During triage, if a patient is alert, responsive, and can walk with minor injuries, which tag is appropriate?

The appropriate tag for a patient who is alert, responsive, and can walk with minor injuries is green. This color is typically used to classify patients who are injured but have only minor injuries and do not require immediate medical attention. In a triage situation, the green tag signifies that the patient can wait for treatment without immediate risk to their life, allowing medical personnel to prioritize those with more severe conditions. This helps to manage resources effectively during emergencies, ensuring that the most critically injured receive care first. Such patients are often referred to as "walking wounded."
