Your doctor will typically prescribe a catheter if you are unable to empty your bladder. Failure to eliminate waste might be a symptom of another medical problem, so make sure your doctor explains why you need this solution. Failure to urinate can lead to a buildup of pressure, which can in turn lead to kidney failure. Neuromuscular conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord paralysis, or functional incontinence can make catheterization necessary. Ensure that you know the specific reason for the inability to urinate independently. When discussing your health issues with your doctor, make sure to be your own advocate. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what is causing your failure to urinate, and how a catheter can help. Make sure to ask whether the catheter is a long-term solution or a temporary measure. Make sure to be aware of symptoms that can indicate an issue with your catheter, or an infection. If your urine is discolored or has an "off" smell, call your doctor. Other signs of problems can be increased lower pelvic pain, fever, or increased confusion or fatigue. You will also want to contact a medical professional if you have a temperature of more than 100 degrees. If your catheter fails to drain urine, or if it falls out, contact your doctor immediately.

Summary: Learn why you need a catheter. Ask your doctor questions. Know the signs of a problem.

If you work with children in a school setting, you will get the best results by teaching children to participate. Ask questions often. When children are involved, they are more likely to be focused and attentive. Children are most likely to stay focused if you speak clearly and slowly (but not too slowly!) and avoid using foreign words or vocabulary that's too advanced for the grade level. Everyone struggles to pay attention when faced with something basically incomprehensible, and children are no exception. If children stop paying attention or wander off, it's fine to raise your voice to call them back to attention. However, you don't want to scream at children, and you don't want to overuse the technique children will simply tune you out. For young children, it can help to have a non-verbal way to call them to attention. Clapping your hands works well, as does snapping your fingers or ringing a bell.

Summary: Aim for active participation. Speak clearly. Raise your voice in a controlled way. Clap your hands.

All species of phlox produce flowers in a wide range of colors including white, pink, red, lavender and blue. Different varieties serve different needs in the garden. Do some research to decide which one is right for your growing zone. Purchase potted phlox plants sold locally at garden centers or farmer's markets for transplanting any time during the growing season. Your local garden center or nursery can advise you on which species grow best in your area. Garden and meadow phlox are perfect for garden borders, since they grow quite wide and tall. Low-growing phlox varieties are perfect to use as groundcover in shady areas, especially as many are mildew-resistant. You can also buy bare-root plants from a mail order company, but bare root plants are best planted in the spring. Phlox are hardy, low maintenance flowers that can do well in most locations, though most varieties of phlox prefer full sun. However, some are tolerant of partial or filtered shade. Find a location that works for the variety you have chosen. Phlox grown in the shade often produce fewer flowers. They are also at increased risk for contracting a disease, so if you choose to plant phlox in the shade, look for a variety that is mildew-resistant. Phlox need plenty of moisture to do well, but they shouldn't be waterlogged. To make sure your soil drains well, take a look at it after a heavy rain. If you see standing water and puddles there, the soil doesn't have good drainage. If the area is wet, but not soaking, it should be fine for growing phlox. Phlox like rich soil, so it's necessary to work in some compost to ensure they grow healthy and strong. Till the soil to a depth of 12 inches (30cm) and amend it with organic compost or peat moss. Dig holes that are 1 to 2 feet (0.30 to 0.61m) apart to provide adequate ventilation. The holes should be twice as wide as the plants' root balls. Set the phlox plants into the holes and pat soil around their bases. Water the phlox after planting.
Summary: Decide which phlox variety you want to grow. Choose a location in full sun for growing phlox. Look for soil that is moist but well-drained. Till the soil and add compost. Plant phlox outdoors after all signs of frost have passed.
