They are related to priority of care--who would you see first type of thing

In a disaster drill, remove those pts who are ambulatory first. Save the most critically ill for last (ex. someone on oxygen, unstable, requiring several staff to move). Since you can't save everyone, it's about saving the MOST amount of people in the limited time that you have.

Thanks for the info - makes sense - but where did you read this? It seems strange for there to be so much focus on this topic without good reference out there... Suppose I should brush up on it since I test WEDNESDAY!!!
