Patient B falls under the resuscitation classification of triage that needs to be seen immediately due to a condition that threatens life. Patient C is under emergent, which requires assessment in less than 15 minutes, as it is a potential threat to a body part or function. Patient A is within less urgent classification in which patients have mild to moderate discomfort. Patient D would be classified as non-urgent in which the patient has no signs of distress.
