Article: While it may seem counterintuitive, allowing your children to play outside and cover themselves in dirt and mud can have health benefits. If children are exposed to naturally-occurring bacteria and germs from a young age, they may develop stronger immune systems and have a healthier variety of digestive-system bacteria. While children should still bathe regularly, you don't need to be overly concerned with keeping them germ-free at all times. To cultivate healthy bacteria in your children's guts, also avoid washing their hands with antibacterial soap, which can kill off healthy bacteria as well as unhealthy germs. If children have a deficit of healthy gut bacteria, they may exhibit one or more of the following signs: excessive gas, diarrhea, or nausea. In more serious cases of imbalanced gut bacteria, children may develop irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn's disease, and may experience serious weight loss, bloating, abdominal pain, or even blood in the stool. While changing your child's diet and increasing their probiotic consumption can improve their gut health, these symptoms can occur for reasons unrelated to gut health. If dietary modification doesn't clear up the symptoms, schedule an appointment with your child's doctor. Whether or not you've noticed signs and symptoms of imbalanced gut bacteria levels, it's a good idea to ask your child's doctor about ways you can promote balanced levels of gut bacteria. Ask if they recommend specific dietary changes (including ones you may not have considered), and ask their opinion on probiotic supplements for children. If your children are experiencing uncommon problems with their gut health, the pediatrician may provide a referral to a nutritionist or a gastroenterologist.

Let kids play outside and get dirty. Watch for the signs of poor gut health. Consult your children's pediatrician about gut bacteria.
Article: If you're not the first medical professional to see the patient, they may already have a SOAP note. Look for any changes in the patient's concern, and be sure to list if there were positive or negative effects to prior treatment. For example, if you had previously prescribed an antibiotic, you may record how the affected area has less swelling. If the patient listed multiple concerns, start organizing them with the most severe on top and the least severe at the end. If you have trouble determining which problem is the most severe, ask them what they're the most concerned with. If there is a clear diagnosis for the problem, list it immediately after the problem on your SOAP note. If there are different causes for the problem, then list them all so the most likely option is the first one. Look at the Subjective and Objective sections of your soap note to speculate what's causing the patient's problems. You may not know exactly what's causing the problems, so make educated guesses based on what you've already found. Cite exact reasons from the Subjective and Objective sections of your SOAP note in your diagnoses. If you're writing descriptions for multiple diagnoses, then be sure to include any that could conflict one another. Always leave a description so other professionals know why you made certain decisions with your treatment.

Record any changes in the patient's problems if you've seen them before. List the patient's problems in order of importance. Note any diagnoses that you can make. Write your reasoning for why you chose each diagnosis.
Article: Use wire cutters to trim off a piece that's long enough to wrap around the crystal and to form the ring, typically at least 2 feet (0.61m). Err on the side of caution and cut a longer piece if you aren't sure how much you'll need. You can use a different size wire if you prefer, but pick a size that's no thicker than 18 gauge and no thinner than 22 gauge for the best results. Take the 2 ends of the wire at the center where they intersect on the mandrel. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to begin wrapping the wire in a small circle at the top of the ring where your crystal will sit. Continue twisting the pieces together until you have a circle that's slightly wider than the ring band and lies flat. It should take about 3 to 4 twists to create the circle. Don't worry if your circle isn't a perfect spiral. The crystal will cover it so it won't be visible. Try to leave about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2cm) of wire at the ends after you've twisted the circle. Slide the ring off of the mandrel once you've wrapped the circle at the top. Be careful not to squish or bend the band of the ring while removing it. If the ring doesn't slide off easily, gently wiggle it back and forth as you pull it up the mandrel to loosen it. Set the crystal in the position that you want it to be on the ring. For example, if you have a long piece of quartz, decide if you want it to lay so that it goes down the length of your finger or across the width of your finger. Align the crystal so that it completely covers the wire circle underneath unless you want the base to show. Because you originally made the ring a smaller size, you may need to enlarge it slightly to fit your finger. To do this, slide the band onto the mandrel. Then take a hammer and lightly tap the top side of the band to loosen the metal. As it becomes pliable, slide the ring down the mandrel until it's at the correct size groove. For instance, if you wear a size 8 but made your ring a size 7, hammer the band until it reaches the size 8 groove. Alternate hammering the band and sliding it down the mandrel.

Cut a piece of 20-gauge wire that's about 2 feet (0.61m) long. Twist the wires clockwise at the top of the ring to create a base for the crystal. Remove the ring from the mandrel. Place the crystal on top of the circle base. Size up the ring by placing it back on the mandrel and hammering the band.
