Which client conditions are categorized under class III according to the disaster triage tag system?

In the disaster triage tag system, class III is assigned to patients with "minor injuries" that are not immediately life-threatening and who can wait for care. This category is typically used for patients who have injuries that are moderate in severity. A sprained hand exemplifies a minor condition that allows an individual to be categorized under this classification, as it does not pose an immediate risk to life and does not require urgent intervention.

The other conditions presented involve moderate to severe injuries. Contusions on legs may vary in severity but could indicate a more serious underlying issue depending on the context. Severe lacerations require prompt evaluation and often surgical intervention, which makes them inappropriate for class III. Unconsciousness represents a critical condition needing immediate attention, categorizing the individual as class I due to the urgency of care required. Thus, the classification of a sprained hand under class III aligns with the criteria for minor injuries in the disaster triage system.
