during triage of a patient involved in a disaster, what does a red tagged or classified patient mean?
deceased patient that needs transport to morgue
patient requires immediate stabilization
patient can wait or does not require treatment
delayed treatment may be appropriate

Explanation:

In disaster triage, color - coding is used. Red - tagged patients are in the highest priority category. They have life - threatening injuries or conditions that require immediate stabilization to survive. A deceased patient (black - tagged in some systems), a patient who can wait (green - tagged), or a patient for whom delayed treatment is appropriate (yellow - tagged in some systems) do not fit the red - tag criteria.

Answer:

Patient requires immediate stabilization
