In MCI triage, which criterion is associated with MINOR?

• A. Breathing with a Pulse
• B. Patient is walking
• C. Pulseless
• D. Posturing

Answer: (B)

In mass-casualty triage, patients are sorted quickly into green (minor), yellow (delayed), red (immediate), and black (deceased). The simplest signal for the green tag is whether the person can walk to a designated area. If they can walk, they’re considered minor because they can move on their own and need relatively little immediate care. The other options represent scenarios that indicate more serious needs: not walking companions would be assessed further for breathing and circulation, pulseless status typically signals life-threatening injury or death, and posturing suggests severe neurologic injury. So the criterion linked to MINOR is that the patient is walking.
