Paramedic Readiness Exam 4 Practice Test

What is the purpose of the Walk step in START triage?

To rapidly identify walking patients to categorize as Green To label as Red To decide to terminate care To identify those needing immediate transport

Correct Answer:

To rapidly identify walking patients to categorize as Green

Explanation:

The Walk step is used to rapidly separate those who can move on their own from the others. If a person can walk to safety or to a designated area, they’re categorized as Green because their injuries are minor and they don’t require immediate life-saving care. This quick check speeds up triage in a mass-casualty event, letting responders allocate attention and resources to those in more urgent need. The other options don’t fit because life-threatening cases are Red, termination of care isn’t a triage outcome, and those needing immediate transport are in the Red category as well.
