Which items are commonly found in a standard First Aid Kit?

• B. Fire extinguisher and smoke mask.
• C. Bandages, antiseptic wipes, gloves, gauze, tape, splints, and basic supplies for minor injuries.

Answer: (C)

A standard First Aid Kit focuses on immediate care for minor injuries and basic wound management. The items listed—bandages in various sizes, antiseptic wipes, disposable gloves, gauze, tape, splints, and basic supplies for minor injuries—cover the essential steps: clean and dress wounds, protect them, control bleeding, and provide simple immobilization if needed. These supplies allow you to treat common in-flight injuries quickly and safely until further medical help can arrive.

Spare life jackets belong to passenger safety equipment, not first aid. A fire extinguisher and smoke mask are part of fire safety and protection, not wound care. Food rations are for sustenance, not medical treatment. That’s why the set in the listed option best fits what a standard First Aid Kit is meant to contain.
