You respond to an industrial plant for a 42-year-old man with a chemical burn. Upon arrival at the scene, you find the patient to be ambulatory. He tells you that he was moving some bags of dry lime when one of the bags broke and spilled lime all over him. After donning the appropriate personal protective equipment, you should:
A) remove his clothing, brush as much of the lime off of him as possible, and flush the affected areas with copious amounts of water. B) avoid brushing any of the lime from his skin, as doing so may cause additional injury, and flush his entire body with water for 30 minutes. C) remove his clothing, carefully brush the lime away from his skin, but avoid flushing with water, as doing so will likely increase burn severity. D) remove all of his clothing, apply baking powder to neutralize the lime, and begin flushing his body with copious amounts of sterile saline.
