Automobile First Aid Kit
It is important to carry a first aid kit with you in your car in case you come upon an accident or if you get stranded somewhere or even if you are out with your family and someone becomes injured. Your first aid kit for your car is smaller than the first aid kit recommended for your home. But it should have the following vital items in it and then any other you wish to add.
- Sterile adhesive bandages in assorted sizes
- 2 inch sterile gauze pads
- 4 inch sterile gauze pads
- Hypo allergenic adhesive tape
- Triangular bandages
- 2-inch sterile roller bandages
- 3 inch sterile roller bandages
- Scissors
- Tweezers
- A needle
- Moistened towelettes
- Antiseptic
- Thermometer
- Tongue blades
- Tube of petroleum jelly or other lubricant
- Safety pins in assorted sizes
- Cleansing soap
- At least 2 pairs of latex gloves
- Small bottle of sunscreen.
You may also include some non-prescription drugs-aspirin or non-aspirin pain reliever, anti-diarrhea medication, antacid for stomach upset, syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting if advised by a poison control center, and a laxative.
- Your auto first aid kit should be compact, yet have certain vital items.
- Put in prescription medicine that you must take.
