What class and color should be assigned for clients needing treatment that can be delayed for up to 2 hours?

Clients needing treatment that can be delayed for up to 2 hours are assigned a Class II designation, which is indicated by a yellow tag. This classification is used in triage systems to identify patients who have serious but not immediately life-threatening conditions. The yellow tag signifies that medical attention is required, but the patient can wait without significant risk of worsening their condition within the specified delay, making it appropriate for situations where treatment can be postponed for a short time.

In emergency situations, correct triaging ensures that those in most critical need, requiring immediate care, are prioritized. Thus, recognizing the Class II yellow tag for patients whose treatment can be delayed aids healthcare providers in effectively managing resources and attention.
