Who designates first aid supplies?

Who designates first aid supplies?

• A. Health Authority
• B. Warden
• C. Medical Director
• D. Inmate Council

Answer: (A)

The key point is who is responsible for setting the medical supply standards and ensuring consistent, regulated health care across the facility. Designating first aid supplies falls under health regulatory oversight, so the health authority is the responsible party. They establish the minimum medical supplies, ensure proper stock and accessibility, and enforce compliance with health regulations. The Warden manages day-to-day facility operations and security, not medical supply standards. The Medical Director focuses on clinical policies and patient care decisions, but the authority to designate the standard list of supplies typically rests with the health authority to maintain consistency and regulatory compliance. The Inmate Council has no formal role in procurement or medical standards.
