What should you put in a first aid kit?

Alright, let’s see. For the things I might need to help someone who has fallen down, I’d say a few bandages, an antiseptic ointment, maybe a roll of gauze, and a knife.  For helping someone who’s had an accident, I’d include another roll of gauze, some adhesive tape, and a lighter.

Is there anything else I should put in there?
user
Yeah, something to take a person’s pulse.  And for pain relief, I’d suggest a roll of ibuprofen tablets.
assistant
Do you think I should include gloves?
user
Gloves can be handy for doing things like applying bandages, or lifting someone, or turning them over.  But they won’t protect you from germs, so if you’re worried about that, maybe you should just take along a couple of pairs of nitrile gloves instead?
