Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check to make sure the aneroid manometer is calibrated correctly. Pick a cuff that is an appropriate size. Tell the patient what you are doing. Ask the patient questions. Get the patient into position. Center the cuff over the brachial artery. Wrap the cuff around the patient's arm.

Answer: When you look at the dial, make sure it is at the zero baseline before starting. If it isn't, you need to calibrate it using a mercury manometer. Connect it with a Y connector, and once you move the dial over, check the pressure at several readings on both meters to make sure the aneroid manometer matches the mercury manometer. Larger patients will need larger cuffs; otherwise, their blood pressure will read higher than it actually is. Similarly, smaller patients will need smaller cuffs; otherwise, their blood pressure will read lower than it actually is. To pick the right size cuff, measure the bladder of the cuff against your patient's arm. The bladder is the part of the cuff where the air enters it. The bladder should go at least 80 percent of the way around the patient's arm. You should perform this step even if you think the patient can't hear you due to unconsciousness. Tell the patient that you are going to use a cuff to take his blood pressure, and that he will feel some pressure from the cuff. Remind the patient that he should not talk while you are taking his blood pressure. Try to calm down an anxious patient by asking about his day or something he enjoys. You can also ask him to take a few deep breaths to relax him. If you take the reading while he is still anxious, it can give a falsely high reading. Nonetheless, some patients will always be nervous in a doctor's office. If the patient is very anxious, try giving him five minutes to relax and calm down. Ask if the patient has had an alcoholic beverage or smoked a cigarette in the 15 minutes prior to the test. Those two actions can affect the reading. Also ask the patient if she is on any medications that may affect blood pressure readings. The patient can be standing, sitting, or lying down. If the patient is sitting, the arm should be bent at the elbow and his feet should be flat on the floor. Ensure that the arm is resting at the same level at the heart. If the patient supports his own arm, it can lead to a false reading. The patient's arm should be bare of restrictive clothing with the sleeves of any clothing comfortably rolled up. However, ensure that the rolled-up clothing isn't cutting off the blood supply. The arm should be slightly flexed at the elbow, and supported throughout the reading on a flat, stable surface. Make sure the patient is comfortable in this position. If he's not, it can give a falsely high reading. Find the middle of the bladder by folding it in half. Make sure it doesn't have air in it already. Palpate the brachial artery (the large artery on the inside of the elbow) with your fingers. Place the center of the bladder directly over the brachial artery. Wrap the cuff of the manometer snugly around the patient's exposed upper arm. The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately one inch above the bend of the elbow. The cuff should be fairly tight to get an accurate reading. It should be tight enough that it should be hard for you to get two fingers under the edge of the cuff.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: End it if you can't stop fighting. Consider ending it if you're growing distant and apart, and neither of you wants to fix it. Compare life without your friend to life with a little bit less of them.

Answer: Do you think your anger will subside, or is this really the end? Friends fight and still stay friends, and you can't expect perfection from them all the time. But if you're fighting more than feeling friendly, it's probably time to bail. Who wants to be with someone they're always arguing with, anyway? Ask yourself some questions to better understand things: Was your disagreement a one-time occurrence or has been ongoing? If your disagreement just won't die, maybe the friendship should. Does the issue itself matter more than the friendship? Voting for different people is one thing, but if someone deeply disagrees with your core beliefs, it may be a deal-breaker. Is there a hurt or a slight that neither of you will apologize for? Are you so proud/upset that you can't say "I'm sorry" and move on with your lives? Sometimes friendships don't end with a fight, but with a fizzle. Has it been a while since you felt like calling up your friend for a chat? Do you find yourself making excuses not to hang out? If so, ask yourself whether you or your friend could do anything to save the relationship, or whether you even want to. People change -- it sucks, but it is true. Don't fight it if you don't have a reason to. If you're old friends, give it another shot. People go through rough patches, and it's no excuse to cut and run because things aren't fun for a few weeks. Drifting apart doesn't mean you won't one day drift back together. Just stop hanging out for a while -- it's as simple as that. Rushing from "best friends" to "I'll never see them again" is childish and extreme. Would just hanging out less accomplish the same goals? Does it make you sad to imagine life without the person, or does it make you feel relieved? If you aren't sure this is what you want to do, then just try seeing less of them. It's a lot easier, less dramatic, and mature than cutting them out of your life all at once. Simply put, are you still willing to put in the energy to keep this relationship going? If the answer is no, then move on and make the break. If you already know that you'll be happy to get rid of the drama, boredom, or other negative feelings that you associate with this person, ending it is a good idea. Ignore the mutual friends, activities, and other nonsense. If they're bad for you, end it.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain necessary business licenses. Purchase insurance, if necessary. Consult an expert. Learn basic accounting.

Answer: Visit your local city government or chamber of commerce offices to learn about applicable laws and needed licenses. Every city and state has different requirements. Does your state or city require you insure your business? You can purchase insurance for just about any type of business risk, as well as liability coverage. The cost will be based on the breadth and amount of coverage. Keep your budget in mind when choosing insurance, and speak with a trusted, local insurance agent. If possible, insure yourself, your equipment and your customers. Collision, liability, and damage insurance will protect your vehicles and equipment. Business liability insurance will cover damages that may occur to your customers' properties during your gardening services. It's a good idea to speak with a business adviser, attorney or accountant to set up your tax structure and accounting processes. Don't forget to register your business with the IRS. Use office software and a printer to handle orders, correspondence and other business tasks. You can also set up accounting processes with basic office software programs, which will help you when it comes time to file taxes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash the pads in the washing machine after every use. Wipe out the reservoir. Clean the surface of your mop.

Answer:
Most steam mops have removable fabric pads that are easy to clean and maintain. Make sure the mop head is cool enough to touch, and remove the pad. Then wash it on a normal cycle with every-day laundry detergent/ Try to put your mop pad in with other loads of laundry so that you aren't washing it by itself. This is more environmentally friendly, and also less harsh on your mop pad. Clean the tank or reservoir of your steam mop by emptying it out and wiping it down with a damp dish towel or rag. Change out dirty cloths as necessary to avoid re-soiling the inside of the tank. Use a dry towel or rag to wipe down the whole surface of your steam mop after every use. This helps wipe away built-up debris, and wicks away any moisture left behind after mopping.
