A disability requiring inpatient medical treatment is associated with which mishap class?

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

Answer: (B)

The situation tests how injury severity maps to mishap classifications. In this system, a disability that requires inpatient medical treatment means the injury was serious enough to require hospital admission, but it did not result in death or permanent total disability. That level of severity fits Class B, which covers nonfatal injuries or illnesses that require hospitalization or cause a certain level of disability without reaching the most severe (Class A) category. The other levels are for less severe cases: injuries treated without admission fall under the milder categories, while Class A is reserved for death, permanent total disability, or very large property damage.
