If a person gets battery acid in their eye while filling a battery, they should FIRST wash the eye with __________.
• Chemical eye injuries and why immediate flushing is critical • Difference between neutralizing a chemical and rinsing it out of the eye • General first-aid principles for chemical splashes in the eye
• Which option is safest to use immediately when you may not know the exact concentration of the chemical in the eye? • What do standard first-aid guidelines recommend as the very first step for any chemical splash in the eye? • Could trying to neutralize the acid inside the eye create additional heat or irritation?
• Verify which substance is universally available and safe to put directly in the eye in an emergency • Consider whether adding another chemical solution to the eye could make the reaction worse • Recall that the priority in first aid for eye contamination is to dilute and flush the chemical out continuously for at least 15–20 minutes
