Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DIME categories are specifically designed for disaster triage and are used to prioritize and manage patients' needs in a mass casualty incident. The categories refer to the severity of injuries and the urgency of the medical intervention required. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B (labor and delivery) and Option C (surgical scheduling) are unrelated to the DIME system. Option D (weapons grading) is not a commonly used term in medical or emergency response contexts.
