A young girl is complaining of eye pain after having sand thrown in her face by another girl at the park. When assessing her eyes, you note large particles of sand in the right eye. The sand appears to be on the conjunctiva, which also appears to be scratched and irritated. Your initial action would be to:
A) flush the eye with clean water from a nearby sink.
B) gently wipe the inner eye with sterile pieces of gauze.
C) stop the tearing by applying gentle pressure to the eye.
D) attempt to remove the larger pieces of sand using a cotton swab.
