Question 1638 Deck Safety
70% to passA person who gets battery acid in an eye should IMMEDIATELY wash the eye with what liquid?
The correct answer is C) water. If a person gets battery acid in their eye, they should immediately wash the eye with large amounts of clean, running water. This is the recommended first-aid treatment, as water is the most effective liquid for flushing out the battery acid and stopping the chemical burn. Baking soda solution, ammonia, and boric acid solution are not appropriate for this situation and could potentially cause further damage to the eye. Promptly flushing the eye with water is the critical first step to minimizing the impact of the battery acid exposure and preventing serious eye injury. This is a standard safety protocol specified in regulations and guidelines for handling hazardous materials like battery acid.
