The answer to the question above is YELLOW. This is the color of the tag for a patient experiencing a back injury during a mass-casualty incident. In the Triage system, patients are being tagged according to colors and these colors correspond to how emergent are the patients' conditions. The yellow color means that the injury is non-life threatening. Other colors include black, which means expectant, red for immediate for life-threatening injuries, and lastly, green which means minimal or the patient only has minor injuries.
