Task 2
Decide what to put in a first aid kit when you go hiking in the mountains
A thermomether
B syringe
C an adhesine bandage
D latex/disposable gloves
E pain killers, aspirin
F tweezers
G a glass
Thermomether- I think that thermomether isn´t important, because temperature can be measured when we put our palm on forehead of ill person.
Syringe- Only nurses should use syringes. I think that application of syringes by amateurs is dangerous. Do you agree with me?
An adhesine bandage– This is first thing, which mustn´t be missing in first aid kit. Whenever we can cut or graze something.
Latex gloves – I´ll put gloves to first aid kit, because they are useful. They protect our health against viruses and infection.
Pain killers– These pills of course we must put to first aid kit because we might need them when something hurts.
Tweezers– they are useful when we stick in splinter to finger or get a tick bite.
A glass– Glass is unnecessary thing, because ussualy we will have a bottle of water. And glass is big and occupies space in first aid kit.
