1 -- The nurse should flush the patient’s eye with eyewash. The patient should be cautioned not to rub the eye that has specks of dust or debris in it. A cool compress and not a warm compress should be applied to the eye. Debris lodged in the eye should be stabilized and not removed without medical attention.
