A patient presents to the ED following an incident with an acid splash to the eye. he reports severe pain, is unable to open the eye, and there is constant tearing. Eye Irrigation should be the nurse's first priority post the scene.

Eye irrigation is the method of utilizing a sterile solution to wash the eyes of any foreign bodies. While it's ok to use sterile, purified water, many physicians favor a sterile saline solution thanks to its antibacterial properties.

The irritation can generate redness, itching, and watering, not to mention pain and overall distress. Eye irrigation is often a swift and effective solution.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

The stomach serves as a temporary receptacle for storage and mechanical distribution of food before it is passed into the intestine. In animals whose stomachs contain digestive glands, some of the chemical processes of digestion also occur in the stomach.

The top of the stomach lies against the diaphragm. Lying behind the stomach is the pancreas. A large double fold of visceral peritoneum called the greater omentum hangs down from the greater curvature of the stomach.
