Question 1602 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) five minutes. When treating a chemical burn, the minimum recommended time to flood the burned area is 5 minutes. This is the standard guideline based on emergency medical protocols for managing chemical burns. Flushing the affected area with large amounts of clean water for at least 5 minutes helps dilute and remove the caustic chemical, limiting further tissue damage. The other options are incorrect because 20 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes are either too long or too short compared to the recommended 5-minute minimum flush time for effective chemical burn treatment.
