Question

amelie is working with a beaker and accidentally breaks it. she looks down and realizes that her hand is bleeding. amelie is pretty sure that her injury is not serious enough to require stitches. how should she respond to this injury?
ask for help from the teacher
immediately dial 911 to speak to a medical professional
wipe the blood off and ignore the injury since it is not serious
focus on cleaning up the broken glass on the floor so someone else does not get injured

Explanation:

In a laboratory setting, when an accident occurs (even if the injury seems minor like a non - stitch - requiring cut), the appropriate and safest course of action is to inform a teacher or supervisor. Dialing 911 is an over - reaction for a non - serious injury. Wiping the blood and ignoring the injury can lead to infection (as the cut may have been caused by glass in a lab, which could be contaminated). Focusing only on cleaning the glass (while ignoring the injury) also neglects proper first - aid procedures for the wound.

Answer:

ask for help from the teacher
