Miranda gets a small cut on her thumb after she breaks a beaker, and she begins to look around for the lab first aid kit. What important first step should she have taken?

In a school lab, the teacher should be notified immediately when an injury occurs. The teacher can make sure the area is safe, help Miranda find and use the first aid kit, and decide whether additional medical help is needed. A small cut usually does not call for calling 911 or a doctor before telling the teacher.
