Injury greater than first aid is a criterion for which mishap class?

• A. Class A
• B. Class B
• C. Class C
• D. Class D

Answer: (D)

Injury severity and medical treatment needs drive mishap classifications. If an injury is greater than first aid, it means the person required medical treatment beyond basic on-scene care. In this classification scheme, that level of injury is placed in Class D. This captures injuries that go beyond simple first-aid care but do not meet the criteria for the higher classes that involve more serious outcomes or larger-scale damage. So the fact that the injury requires medical treatment beyond first aid is the reason Class D is the best choice.
