A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment for use in giving first aid,[1] and can put together for the purpose (by an individual or organization, for instance),
Pen Torch.
or purchased complete. There is a wide variation in the contents of first aid kits based on the knowledge and experience of those putting it together, the differing first aid requirements of the area where it may be used, and variations in legislation or regulation in a given area.
This article contains the write up for the CBSE Class 10 Social Science Project Pocket Guide on First Aid. The question for the project is -
Prepare a pocket guide on First Aid for your school. The First Aid pocket guide should contain aid that needs to be given for fractures, poisoning, cuts and burns, heat and cold wave and other threats that are prevalent in that area. The content shared in the guide should be supported with adequate pictures so as to give a clear and elaborate understanding about the topic. Choose awareness campaign strategy for either senior citizens or illiterate people and prepare a brief write-up. You may also like to have a look on our CBSE question section which we are in process of preparing.
Acknowledgement
For the successful completion of the project, I would like to thank first of all my social science teacher [teachers name] who introduced me to this project and incepted me with the idea of how to proceed with the project. This project definitely would have not been a successful project without his assistance and vigilance. There are many other people whom I would like to thank. First of all I would like to thank my elder brother who helped me a lot while I was on
the go with the project. He assisted me every time I needed. I would also like to thank my parents for helping me in the project with their own ideas and suggestions. I would like to then thank [if you have a family doctor or a doctor friend], a doctor friend of mine who helped me in the project providing details about various things. Again, I would like to thank the above mentioned people. Without them, this project could not have been the way it is. Your signature.

Foreword
We know what the value of our life is. But, there are situations in which it falls in danger and sometimes, without appropriate steps that need to be taken, lives are lost. A drop of water is more valuable to a man who is thirsty, nearing to death than a tumbler full of water when he is dead. Yes, in most of the cases of injury, if first aid is provided successfully, the dangers to life are reduced to less than 60%. However, in most of the cases in which the injured is serious, lack of first aid leads the injured to his last breath. This project has been intentioned to be viewed as a pocket first aid guide which can be used for reference during emergencies. Readers may find guidelines, which contain steps that need to be taken to give first aid for fractures, poisoning, cuts, burns and a lot of other cases in which first aid can prove to be the life saving action.
3. To promote recovery of the injured If the first and the second objectives are successfully met, then the first aid provider must try to take the injured to the doctor in case of availability. Otherwise, he / she must try his best to do what he / she can do in order to support recovery of the injured.
A first aid kit can be made in any kind of box. One can use a shoe box to make a first aid kit too. However, it is to be kept in mind that the first aid box must be clean.
2. Immobilize the fractured part The fractured area must not be moved or tried to be realigned or pushed. Until and unless the first aid provider is an expert or a professional, the fractured part must not be manually tried to be adjusted. If the provider is an expert and knows how to fit a splint, a splint must be tried to be fitted. 3. Apply ice A mass of ice must be applied to the fractured area in order to limit the swelling and help the injured person to get a bit of relieve until the arrival of emergency help. The ice must not be applied directly, but must be wrapped in a towel or any other piece of cloth and then must be applied. 4. Treating for shock If the person is getting unconscious or is fainting, then the person must be treated with mouth to mouth breaths, and must be tried to lay down with the legs, slightly raised. 5. Padding or Support The wound can also be supported with padding so as to relax the injured.
1. Stopping the bleeding In case of a cut, if the bleeding of the wound does not stop itself in a few minutes, then gentle pressure with a piece of clean cloth or bandage, must be applied. 2. Cleaning The wound must be cleaned with fresh water. If available, a Antiseptic Liquid Disinfectant must be used to clean the wound. Debris and dirt should be carefully removed without troubling the injured. The hands of the cleaner must be sterilized or gloves should be used. 3. Antibiotic or Ointment After cleaning the wound, a thin layer of antibiotic or ointment like Neosporin must be applied. 4. Bandaging After cleaning and applying ointment on the wound, a sterile bandage must be used to cover the wound, carefully. 5. Stitches For deep wounds, the first aid provider must seek help and get the deep wounds stitched if possible. 6. Tetanus If one suspects that the cut has been caused by some dangerous, rusted thing, then the injured person must be given a tetanus shot or tetanus injection too.
3. CPR If there is no breathing or no sign of circulation or movement, then CPR must be initiated. 4. Covering the area The burnt area must be covered with moist, sterile cloth like towels. 5. Elevation The body must be elevated, if possible, above the chest portion.
1. Aspirin If the person who has got heart attack is not allergic to aspirin, he must be asked to swallow (if possible, after chewing) an aspirin. 2. Nitroglycerin If the person has suffered from heart attack before too and has been prescribed nitroglycerin by the doctor, he can be asked to take it as directed and other peoples nitroglycerin must not be taken. 3. CPR - In case the signs of circulation are absent, and the person is unconscious, then CPR must be immediately initiated.
Conclusion
As the concluding part of this project, I would like to say that Without proper action at proper time, danger awaits us with a bigger face.
We must act on time when a person is injured. We must take care of the person the way it is meant. Otherwise, a valuable life might be lost. We need to understand how precious lives of people are and what importance first aid carries in saving these precious lives. If this project imparts this idea in even one person, I would think that the project has been successful.
