A Patient Complains of Pain and Discomfort to the Left

A patient complains of pain and discomfort to the left eye after being hit in the face with a cloud of dust while working at a manufacturing complex. As you specifically assess the eye, you note some redness to the globe but do not see any obvious foreign object. The most appropriate care you can provide to this patient would be:

A) covering both eyes with a bandage.
B) carefully wiping the eye with a soft piece of sterile gauze.
C) gently massaging the eye to promote tearing.
D) applying gauze and direct pressure over the eye.
