A
Apply an ice pack to the eye.
B
Flush the eye with plenty of water.
C
Keep the eyelid close.
D
Rub the eye area clean.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Flush the eye with plenty of water. This is the proper first aid for LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) exposure in the eye. The immediate response should be to flush the eye with large amounts of clean water for 15-20 minutes. This helps dilute and remove the LPG from the eye, preventing further irritation and damage. The other options are incorrect because: A) Applying an ice pack would not be effective in removing the LPG; C) Keeping the eyelid closed would not flush out the contaminant; and D) Rubbing the eye could further irritate the affected area.
