Conclusion
Patients may find themselves in many types of situations requiring first aid or immediate intervention. Many of these conditions can safely be self-treated, hence the need for a fully stocked thoughtfully planned first aid kit in an accessible place. However, the patient should also understand that a visit to a competent professional can not always be avoided, and the patient should be urged to make an immediate appointment for conditions that are potentially serious.
A well-maintained first aid kit or medicine cabinet allows patients to self-treat a variety of conditions.
