Things You Find in a
Medical Bag
stethoscope
The doctor can use a stethoscope
to listen to the man’s breathing.
otoscope
The doctor is
looking
inside the
girl’s ear
with an
otoscope.
He is looking
for an ear
infection.
This dog might have an ear
infection. Poor doggie!
blood
pressure
cuff
There is more pressure inside a
balloon as it gets bigger.
There is more
pressure in a
bicycle tire as it
gets bigger.
Blood pressure is how “pumped up”
the blood is inside your arteries.
A blood pressure cuff is used to see if your
blood pressure is high, low, or normal.
It is very unhealthy if your blood
pressure is too high or too low.
syringe
Someone is using a syringe to give
the boy a shot—called an injection.
reflex
hammer
There are nerves inside your
body—including inside your knee ↓.
Knee nerves are
yellow in this picture.
To test whether your nerves are
working right, a doctor might tap on
your knee with a reflex hammer.
digital
thermometer
You can use
a thermometer
to tell whether
you have a
fever—you
have a fever
when your
body is too hot
on the inside.
It is usually a nurse, or a parent,
who takes your temperature with a
thermometer.
band-aid
We put band-aids on small cuts
and scrapes.
assorted
bandages
We use bigger
bandages for
bigger cuts and
scrapes.
This person
should have
been more
careful with
those scissors!
They are sharp!
ointment
Bacteria are one kind of tiny germ.
Bacteria can be good or bad. If
bad bacteria get into a cut, the cut
is infected. That is bad!
Never let a cut get infected!
We put ointment on skin for various
reasons. One reason is to make sure
a cut does not become infected.
cold
medicine
We can take cold
medicine when we
get a cold.
Cold medicine does
not stop the cold, but
it makes us feel
better.
Please be careful! Never
use real medicine without
Mama or Papa! If you
take the wrong thing, it
could hurt you!
