Include the following items in your first-aid kits:
• first-aid manual
• Disposable nonporous, latex-free or non-powdered latex gloves (latex-free recommended)
• sterile gauze pads of different sizes
• adhesive tape
• adhesive bandages in several sizes
• elastic bandage
• a splint
• antiseptic wipes
• liquid soap to wash injury and hand sanitizer, used with supervision, if hands are not visibly soiled or if no water is present;
• Water (two liters of sterile water for cleaning wounds or eyes);
• antibiotic ointment
• antiseptic solution (like hydrogen peroxide)
• hydrocortisone cream (1%)
• acetaminophen and ibuprofen
• extra prescription medications (if the family is going on vacation)
• Flexible roller gauze
• Triangular bandages
• Eye patch or dressing
• Cold pack
• tweezers
• sharp scissors
• safety pins
• disposable instant cold packs
• calamine lotion
• alcohol wipes or ethyl alcohol
• thermometer (Non-glass, non-mercury)
• tooth preservation kit
• plastic non-latex gloves (at least 2 pairs)
• flashlight and extra batteries
• blanket (stored nearby)
• Tissues
• Wipes
• Individually wrapped sanitary pads to contain bleeding of injuries
• Adhesive strip bandages, plastic bags for cloths, gauze, and other materials used in handling blood
• Flashlight
• Emergency medications
• List of emergency contacts (i.e., location information and phone numbers for the Poison Center, nearby hospitals or other emergency care clinics)
After you've stocked your first-aid kits:
• Read the entire first-aid manual to make sure you understand how to use the contents of your kits. (If your kids are old enough to understand, review the manuals with them.)
• Store first-aid kits in places that are out of children's reach but easily accessible for adults.
• Check the kits regularly. Replace missing items or medicines that may have expired.
• Check the flashlight batteries to make sure they work.
• If you're flying, be sure to pack the first-aid kit in your checked luggage. Many of the items won't be permitted in your carry-on bags.

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
