Question 766Deck General70% to pass
If a crew member is exposed to phenol by way of skin or eye contact, you should IMMEDIATELY _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) flush skin and eyes with water.
When a person is exposed to phenol through skin or eye contact, the immediate response is to flush the affected area with large amounts of water. This is the most effective way to remove the chemical and prevent further exposure and injury. Phenol can cause severe burns and eye damage, so flushing the area with water is the critical first aid step to minimize harm.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not address the immediate need to remove the phenol from the skin and eyes. Administering oxygen, stimulants, or treating for shock would not be the appropriate first response for this type of chemical exposure.
