Which color code corresponds to ambulatory (minor) victims?

• A. Green
• B. Yellow
• C. Red
• D. Black

Answer: (A)

In mass casualty triage, responders categorize patients by urgency using color codes to quickly allocate care. Ambulatory, or walking wounded, have injuries that are not immediately life-threatening and can move themselves to safety or a treatment area. This is signaled by green, meaning they require care but are not the first priority for life-saving interventions. The other colors map to higher urgency: red for immediate life-threatening conditions, yellow for delayed injuries, and black for deceased or non-salvageable cases. So, ambulatory minor victims are color-coded green.
