response to nursing post

I also havent quite mastered reading Hindi, but I will take a guess and respond to your previous posting for the nurses towards the first aid kit! I think that it is a good list for a team kit, since a few of the medications are some that we would not take individually. The most commonly needed ones, such as immodium, analgesics, and gravol i think will be enough because people will bring their own as well, but it is good to have a couple in case people need more or we are on a group outing. Being a nurse, and of course believing in being prepared, have my own little first aid kit, and of course being a student too, i have less of the medications and more of the little things that might be needed, such as gauze, tape, tweezers, adhesive moleskin (for blisters), band aids, safety pins, and polysporin for cuts. So i will be bringing those things for the team as well! If there was another question in your posting that i am missing, let me know!

Dear Sara
You have answered everything.. I was thinking of one common kit; ofcourse individuals can and must carry their personal needs- like salbutamol inhaler, if someone is asthmatic; the common kit would be in addition. Dr Karen is the senior advisor to this program and also a doctor- Could you please discuss this list with her over phone? Just to make sure that we are not missing out anything important?
Thanks
