Read the scenario and answer the following questions:
a. How could the scenario have been prevented?
b. How should the student respond in the scenario to minimize the harm?
During an experiment, Carin carefully pours solution A from a test tube into a beaker. Krystal sneaks up behind Carin to wish her a happy birthday. Carin accidentally drops the beaker on the floor, shattering it on her uncovered toes.
a. To prevent the scenario, proper safety measures should have been followed. Carin should have been wearing closed-toe shoes or safety boots to protect her toes. Additionally, Krystal should have been aware of her surroundings and approached Carin cautiously to avoid startling her during the experiment.
b. In order to minimize the harm, the student should immediately seek medical attention for her injured toes. If there is excessive bleeding, she should apply pressure to the area with a clean cloth or bandage. It would also be helpful for her to elevate her injured foot to reduce swelling. After seeking medical treatment, the student should report the incident to her teacher or lab supervisor to ensure that appropriate safety measures are taken in the future.
