Which of the following lists correctly identifies common items in airline medical kits?

• A. Grocery bags, tape, scissors.
• B. Water bottles, syrup, napkins.
• C. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses.
• D. Oxygen equipment, AED, basic wound dressings/bandages.

Answer: (D)

Inflight medical readiness centers on items that can manage life-threatening or time-sensitive situations and support basic care until further help is available. Oxygen equipment addresses altitude-related hypoxia, the AED is crucial for potential sudden cardiac arrest, and basic wound dressings or bandages allow immediate bleeding control and wound protection. These supplies cover the most common and urgent needs that crew might face during a flight.

The other suggestions don’t fit because they’re not standard medical kit contents: everyday consumer items like grocery bags, tapes and scissors that aren’t specifically medical gear, beverages and syrups, or sun protection items like sunscreen and hats aren’t equipped to handle medical emergencies in flight.
