A nurse is conducting a disaster preparedness drill with a group of nurses who are orienting to the facility. Which of the following triage tag colors should the nurse instruct the group to apply to a client who has full thickness burns on 72% of his body?

The correct answer is C: Black. In a disaster scenario, a client with 72% full thickness burns would be considered non-survivable due to the extensive injuries. Triage tags use a color-coding system to prioritize care based on the severity of injuries, and black signifies deceased or expected to die. Applying a black tag to this client would indicate to responders that resources should be directed towards those with a higher chance of survival. Green (A) indicates minor injuries, yellow (B) indicates delayed care, and red (D) indicates immediate care. None of these colors would be appropriate for a client with such severe burns.
