Your lab partner accidentally gets a mist of your solution in her eye. You immediately help her to the eye wash to rinse it. After about a minute, she feels better and is ready to get back to work. You should:a. Let the TA inspect her eye to see if it is okay. b. Check to see if her eye is still red. If not, hurry so that you can finish the experiment c. Keep her in the eye wash for at least 15 minutes, and then make sure she goes to student health, just to be sure. d. Keep her in the eye wash for at least 5 minutes and then let the TA decide if she can continue working.
