d. give pain medication

Explanation:

First Question:

A first - aid kit is mainly used to deal with unexpected injuries or health - related emergencies. Option a is incorrect because a first - aid kit doesn't help avoid medical bills. Option b is wrong as impressing others is not the purpose of a first - aid kit. Option d is incorrect because a first - aid kit is for emergency first - aid, not for storing personal medications. Option c is correct as the main purpose of a stocked first - aid kit is to be ready for emergencies.

When direct pressure fails to stop severe bleeding, applying a tourniquet (in a proper way, following guidelines) can help control the bleeding by restricting blood flow to the injured area. Option a: covering the wound with a clean cloth is a basic step but won't stop severe bleeding when direct pressure fails. Option b: calling a family member is not a direct way to stop the bleeding. Option d: giving pain medication has nothing to do with stopping the bleeding. So option c is the correct action.

Answer:

c. To be prepared for emergencies
