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. Bandage
• D. Ice Pack

Answer: (A)

Ammonia inhalants are used only in specific, controlled situations because they irritate the nose and airways to provoke a quick reflex that can wake or reorient someone who is faint or lightheaded. Because this can be uncomfortable or risky for certain individuals (for example, those with asthma, breathing problems, or allergies) and because it requires the passenger’s consent or a medical professional’s guidance, it’s restricted to use only upon request or under supervision. Other commonly found items like alcohol wipes, bandages, and ice packs have straightforward, low-risk uses and don’t require medical permission in typical first aid scenarios, so they aren’t restricted in the same way.
