The correct answer choice from the ones provided in this list, to answer the question: Proper care for a chemical burn should include:, would be, B: Irrigating the affected area to remove any chemicals and D: Removing the patient´s clothing once irrigation has begun. Both of these choices are the steps that must be taken as soon as a chemical burn makes its appearance.

Explanation:

According to the first aid manuals delivered by such authorities as Mayo Clinic, chemical burns need to be treated in a very specific way not only to avoid further damage to the person who was burned by the chemical, but also to anyone who helps, as the substance may be transfered to whoever helps inappropriately and also be affected. As such, after finding that a person has been burned by a chemical substance, and unless the chemical on the person should not be washed off with water due to its type, the norm is to flood the area affected with water, for at least 10 minutes. Only after proper irrigation has been used, can the aiding person touch the clothing and jewelry of the one burned. But after flooding, and irrigating, the damaged clothing and other such articles HAVE to be taken off. Otherwise the chemical may continue spreading. Never use other substances to try and neutralize a chemical burn. And flooding needs to happen for MORE than 5 minutes.
