Which item in the First Aid Kit may be used only on a passenger's request or under medical supervision?

• A. Ammonia Inhalant
• B. Alcohol Wipe
• C. Ice Pack
• D. Bandage

Answer: (A)

Ammonia inhalants are strong irritants used to stimulate someone who feels faint or lightheaded, with the goal of briefly boosting alertness. Because they can provoke coughing, airway irritation, bronchospasm in those with asthma or reactive airway disease, or other adverse reactions, their use must be guided by the passenger’s request or by a medical professional. That necessity for consent or supervision is why this item is the one that may be used only under medical oversight or at the passenger’s request. Other simple first aid supplies like an alcohol wipe, an ice pack, or a bandage are standard care tools that don’t require medical direction for routine use.
