For each of the following Patient Profiles, determine the most appropriate triage category (red, yellow, green, or black), and why. patient profiles: 1. Enucleated eye - crying, holding injured eye - respirations : 16/min - radial pulse : present 2. leg pinned by heavy beam, open femur fx, and tib-fib fx to other leg - tells you his leg is pinned - respirations : 24/min - radial pulse : present 3. fractured nose, profused bleeding - tells you his nose and neck hurts - respirations : 18/min - radial pulse : present 4. neck sharply angulated - unconsious - respirations : absent - radial pulse : absent 5. chest pain from blunt trauma, hurts with breathing - tells you it hurts when he breathe - respirations : 16/min - radial pulse : weak/present

patient profiles:
1. Enucleated eye
- crying, holding injured eye
- respirations : 16/min
- radial pulse : present
2. leg pinned by heavy beam, open femur fx, and tib-fib fx to other leg
- tells you his leg is pinned
- respirations : 24/min
- radial pulse : present
3. fractured nose, profused bleeding
- tells you his nose and neck hurts
- respirations : 18/min
- radial pulse : present
4. neck sharply angulated
- unconsious
- respirations : absent
- radial pulse : absent
5. chest pain from blunt trauma, hurts with breathing
- tells you it hurts when he breathe
- respirations : 16/min
- radial pulse : weak/present
