Cora had a chemical splash into her eyes. She immediately told her teacher and went to the eyewash station. She then proceeded to wash her eyes out until they no longer hurt, which took about ten minutes. She then returned to her station, cleaned up any chemical spills according to directions, and started her project over.Which best describes her error?
Answer
A
She should not have started over after the chemical spill.
B
Her teacher should have cleaned the chemical spill.
C
She should have washed her eyes for at least fifteen minutes.
D
She should have used the safety shower.
Explanation
After a chemical splash in the eyes, Cora should keep using the eyewash for at least 15 minutes, even if the pain stops sooner. She rinsed for only about 10 minutes, so she stopped too early. The safety shower is for chemicals on the body or clothing, not specifically for an eye splash.
