How is first-aid priority determined for multiple casualties under Russian Order No. 220n?

Question

Under Russian Ministry of Health Order No. 220n of 3 May 2024, how is first-aid priority determined when there are two or more casualties?

Answer choices

1. The first casualty found is helped first.
2. Priority depends on the severity of their condition, with priority given to children (minors).
3. The casualty with visible injuries is helped first.
4. None of the answers is correct.

Explanation

Clause 8 of the first-aid procedure approved by Russian Ministry of Health Order No. 220n of 3 May 2024 bases priority for two or more casualties on the severity of their condition and separately specifies priority for children.

The order in which someone is found, or visible injuries alone, is not a sufficient criterion. Option 2 reproduces the rule tested by this exercise.
