Question 43Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is B) gently flooding with water. For a minor heat burn of the eye, the recommended treatment is to gently flush the eye with clean, cool water for 15-20 minutes. This helps to cool the eye and remove any foreign materials or chemicals that may have caused the burn. Flushing the eye with water is the most effective way to provide immediate first aid and minimize further damage. The other options are incorrect. Laying the person flat (A) is not the appropriate treatment. Warming the eye with moist warm packs (C) could further aggravate the burn. Applying mineral oil drops directly to the eye (D) could potentially cause additional irritation and should be avoided.
