Read the scenario and answer the following questions: a. how could the scenario have been prevented? b. how should the student respond in the scenario to minimize the harm? during an experiment, carin carefully pours solution a from a test tube into a beaker. krystal sneaks up behind carin to wish her a happy birthday. carin accidentally drops the beaker on the floor, shattering it on her uncovered toes.

The scenario could be prevented by two main ways:
1) Krystal should be more responsible in the lab
2) Carin should wear lab appropriate attire, including closed shoes

To deal with this scenario:
1) Cain should wash her feet in the closest washing station without walking too much to prevent cuts from the glass
2) After rinsing the chemical and glass off, she should get medical attention to ensure no remaining glass or chemicals are on her skin.
