Which of the following items is NOT typically included in a first-aid kit?

Adhesive bandages
Antiseptic wipes
Manikins
Gauze pads

The correct answer is: Manikins

The inclusion of certain items in a standard first-aid kit is based on their function in providing immediate care for injuries and emergencies. Adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, and gauze pads are essential components because they are crucial for treating minor wounds, preventing infection, and controlling bleeding. Adhesive bandages are used to cover small cuts and abrasions, antiseptic wipes help clean those wounds to prevent infection, and gauze pads are used for larger wounds that may require more extensive coverage and absorption. On the other hand, manikins are not included in a typical first-aid kit since they are primarily used for training purposes rather than for immediate first-aid responses. Manikins serve a role in teaching life-saving skills like CPR but are not required at the scene of an emergency when practical actions need to be taken. Thus, the correct choice highlights an item unrelated to direct injury treatment.
