Question 1598 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) gently flooding the eye with water. For a minor heat burn of the eye, the recommended first aid treatment is to gently flush the eye with clean water. This helps to cool the eye, remove any debris or irritants, and minimize further damage. Flushing the eye is the proper initial response, as it provides immediate relief and helps prevent the injury from worsening. The other options are not appropriate for this type of eye injury. Warming the eye (B) could further aggravate the burn, applying mineral oil drops (C) could be harmful, and laying the person flat (D) does not directly address the eye injury.
