Ways to Use a First Aid Kit in an Emergency

1) Burns: (Gloves, Scissors, Pads, Bandage) Always put on gloves before administering First Aid! If clothes stick to the burned tissue, the scissors can be used to cut away clothes, in order to better treat wound. Once the burned area is separated from the rest of the clothes, cover it with sterile gauze pads and wrap with gauze bandage.
