Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The warm zone (also referred to as the yellow, contamination, or contamination reduction zone) is located at least 300 feet from the outer edge of the hot zone. Although the primary purpose is decontamination, rapid triage and emergency treatment to stabilize victims may also take place in the warm zone. Individuals who have the highest levels of contamination are treated with the highest priority. PPE is required in this zone.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Nurses perform triage every day in emergency departments. During a mass casualty event (more than 100 victims), the demand on nurses' knowledge and skills will be even greater. Mass casualty events call for the implementation of reverse triage, in which the most severely injured or ill victims who require the greatest resources are treated last to allow the greatest number of victims to receive medical attention.
