Problem: Article: Inspect every instrument as you sort to make sure it's clean. Arrange the instruments based on what they're used for and where they need to end up. Keeping them organized is essential because each instrument has a purpose. Make sure you know what your instruments are going to be used for next before you sort them. Organize and wrap the instruments for distribution before the autoclaving process. If you wait until afterwards and open them, they won't be sterile. Once you have your instruments sorted, you need to place them in sterilized pouches that can go into the autoclave. You should use special autoclave pouches designed to withstand the high temperatures of the autoclaves. The pouches have a strip of test tape that changes color when the autoclave process is effective. Take each pile of instruments you sorted and place them in as many bags as necessary. You shouldn't have too many in a bag because it might hinder the sterilization process. Make sure that any instrument that can open, such as scissors, is left open when you put it into a pouch. The inside of the instruments need to be sterilized as well. Autoclaving in pouches is convenient because you can see the instruments you need when finished. Once you have them locked in a pouch, you need to label each one so you and others will know what the instruments are needed for. Write the instrument names, the date, and your initials on the pouches. Seal each bag securely. If the bag doesn't already have a test strip, attach one. This will show whether the sterilization was successful. You can now place the pouches in the autoclave.
Summary: Sort the instruments. Place instruments in pouches. Label the pouches.

Problem: Article: To cut back on waste, don't throw something useful away after a single use. Instead, use it again or find a new way to use it.

Problem: Article: If you continue getting harassed, keep a record of every incident that occurs.

Keep all email and text correspondence you have received, especially regarding any boundaries you've set. Note any dates of significance, such as a day you asked for contact to stop, for example, and keep any records to back it up. Write down an account of what has happened, noting the date and place of each incident. Keep the names of other people who have witnessed the harassing behavior in case you need to ask them to verify your account of what occurred. You don't have to deal with harassment alone. Talk to your teacher, school counselor, school administrator, human resources department or someone else you can trust. Most administrations have policies in place to deal with harassment.

You'll then receive restraining order papers that you should keep on hand in case the person ever violates the order. A restraining order usually specifies that the harasser cannot make contact with you or come within a certain distance of you. If you are in immediate danger, you can get a temporary restraining order that will prevent the person from being able to legally come near you or get in contact with you at least until your court date. Keep detailed records and report each time the harasser violates your restraining order to the police, if needed. If someone is harassing you through phone calls or text messages, call your phone company and ask them to set up a trace.
