What if patient coughs on you and splatters mucus on your eyes?

If a patient coughs and splatters mucus on your eyes, it's important to immediately wash your eyes with water or saline solution to minimize any potential exposure to pathogens. Report the incident to your supervisor and follow your workplace's infection control protocols, which may include documenting the exposure and seeking medical evaluation. Monitor for any symptoms that could indicate an infection and consider getting tested as appropriate. Always ensure to wear protective eyewear in clinical settings to reduce the risk of such exposures.
