70% to passWhat can you do if a person gets something in his or her eye and you see that it is not embedded?
A
remove it with a match or toothpick
B
remove it with a piece of dry sterile cotton
C
get them to rub their eye until the object is gone
D
remove it with a moist, cotton-tipped applicator
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) remove it with a moist, cotton-tipped applicator. This is the correct response because it is the safest and most effective way to remove a foreign object from the eye that is not embedded. Using a moist, cotton-tipped applicator helps gently dislodge and remove the object without causing further irritation or damage to the eye. The other options, such as using a match, toothpick, or dry cotton, could potentially scratch or further injure the eye, which should be avoided. Rubbing the eye (option C) may also push the object deeper into the eye, causing more harm.
