Color-coded tag system used in nursing triage during a disaster situation explained by Nurse Sarah. The word "triage" means to group or rank. Nurses use triage when patients come to the ER, and they are grouped based on their signs and symptoms.

In this video, I'm talking about triage in disaster situations. This system prioritizes patients so that healthcare facilities can direct nursing staff in a way that makes sense.

For nursing exams, you'll want to know what the colors represent in the color coded tag system, as well as which patient has the highest priority vs the lowest priority.
