Which items are obtained during CARE for a medical emergency?

• A. First aid kit (FAK)
• B. Primary medical kit/enhanced emergency medical kit (EEMK)
• C. Portable oxygen bottles (POBs)
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

During CARE for a medical emergency, the goal is to have the resources available to stabilize and manage the passenger’s condition until professional help can take over. The First Aid Kit provides immediate, basic care for minor injuries and initial bleeding control. The Primary Medical Kit, or Enhanced Emergency Medical Kit, contains more advanced equipment and medications for more serious conditions and can be used under the direction of a medical professional. Portable oxygen bottles supply needed oxygen to patients who are short of breath or experiencing hypoxia. Because an onboard emergency can require basic care, more advanced interventions, and oxygen support, all of these items may be obtained to cover a wide range of scenarios.
