How long should you flush a client's eyes with water if a product gets into them?

5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
20 minutes

The correct answer is: 15 minutes

When flushing a client's eyes after a product has gotten into them, the recommended duration is 15 minutes. This timeframe is critical because it allows for sufficient rinsing to ensure that any potential irritants, chemicals, or allergens are adequately washed out of the eye. The eyes are particularly sensitive structures, and flushing them effectively can mitigate any damage or discomfort caused by the product. Water helps to dilute the offending substance and reduce its concentration in the eye, thereby minimizing irritation and preventing further complications. While shorter durations may not fully cleanse the eyes, excessively long durations could lead to discomfort or complications of their own. Therefore, the 15-minute guideline strikes a balance, ensuring effective irrigation while prioritizing the client's comfort and safety.
