Final answer:
The Load and Go Patient Standard applies to unstable patients who require immediate transport and possibly interventions to stabilize their condition during transport.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Load and Go Patient Standard typically applies to unstable patients who are in critical condition and need to be transported to a healthcare facility immediately. These patients may require critical interventions prior to and during transport to stabilize their condition. This contrasts with stable patients, who are not in immediate danger and do not require such urgent intervention. Pediatric and geriatric patients can both be stable or unstable; their categorization under the Load and Go standard will depend on their individual condition at the time of assessment rather than their age group alone.
