In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A retainer is a septum ring that you can flip inside your nose when you want to hide it. It will keep the piercing hole open while making it less obvious that you have a piercing. There are many different styles of septum retainer, many of which are inexpensive. You can purchase a retainer online or at a jewelry store. If it is your first time buying a septum retainer it is best to go into a store to look at retainers. This will help you decide which size and style will look best on your nose. It is important to wait the recommended time before using a retainer. This will decrease the chances of your piercing getting infected. Use a mirror to help you find the hole inside your nose. Remove any stoppers from the jewelry and bring the piercing up to your nose. Slowly guide the retainer through the hole and re-attach any stoppers to the end of the jewelry. If it is hurting, stop pushing and try slightly change the angle of the jewelry. Always wash your hands before changing your piercings. Pull down the skin between your mouth and nose, then gently push the balls of the retainer up and back until the retainer is hidden in your nose. If you are having trouble pushing it back, try again with a smaller sized retainer. This gets easier the longer you have had the piercing as the swelling in your nose will decrease.
Summary: Purchase a septum retainer after 6-8 weeks. Choose a ring that is the same width as your current jewelry. Insert the retainer in the same way you would put in a regular septum ring. Turn the ring to conceal it inside your nostrils.

Even in cultures where bribery is common and accepted, people don't like to think of themselves as bribers or bribes. When approaching the person you're bribing, there are many ways to frame the bribe in different terms. You might call it a negotiation: "Mom, I'll do extra chores for a whole month if you let me go to this concert." Frame it as a compromise: "If you waive the late fees on my account, I will sign a new 2-year contract with your company. That way, we both win." Frame it as a fee: "If you help me move, I'll pay you for your labor and gas." Once you know who to approach and how to bribe them, approach the person you're bribing as far in advance as possible. A number of small gifts over time can prime a person to provide a service in the future without you ever even framing the service as a bribe. They might just want to help you because you've been so nice to them in the past. Sometimes, you need favors quickly. In that case, ease into the topic slowly. Talk about how difficult the situation is for you and how much you need help before asking for the favor. Especially when talking to someone you don't know well, you want the person to feel bad for you before you ask for their help. As with any good negotiation, the person you plan to bribe likely won't respond to your first offer. Treat it like an auction or negotiation. Start with a low bid with the expectation that the amount will probably rise. Judge the starting point for negotiation based on your knowledge of the person. If you start too low, the person might get offended that you thought you could bribe them so cheaply. If you start too high, then you might reach the limit of what you can offer before the person feels he's been offered a good deal. Will the gift be given ahead of time? When the favor has been given? Sometime in the future? Make sure the terms of your agreement are clear ahead of time to prevent hard feelings down the line. Many people may only agree to a bribe if the they're "paid" upfront. "We'll go out for drinks on me as soon as we're finished moving my furniture." In some situations, the bribe might be drawn out over time, such as with the example of bribing a friend to stop smoking. In this case, you can offer the bribe in smaller chunks based on progress. "Every week you go without smoking, I'll take you out for a nice dinner on the weekend." If you don't follow through with the gift you offered, you're lying to and taking advantage of people. He or she will remember this and likely never help you again regardless of any of the circumstances. You might also get a reputation for taking advantage of people, making your other friends less likely to help you in the future.

One-sentence summary -- Don't call it a bribe openly. Begin early and slowly. Start low. Negotiate the terms. Follow through with your end of the deal.

Problem: Article: Before you take blood pressure, the patient should be sitting for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) beforehand. Blood pressure readings should be taken while the patient is at rest with their legs and arms uncrossed. Place the cuff on the upper arm (above the elbow), tightening it well. A mark on the cuff will indicate where it needs to be placed in relation to the artery. The wired part of the machine should be on the inside of the arm. If it's a wrist cuff, place it so the monitor is on the inside of the wrist. Once secured, turn the machine on, and start the reading. Try to remain still or have the patient remain still while it's reading. You can take more than one reading for better accuracy. A reading of less than 120/80 is considered normal. Any higher starts getting into prehypertension (pre-high blood pressure). Apply the cuff to just above the elbow, tightening enough that you can just fit two fingertips underneath. Slip the stethoscope between the skin and the cuff in the middle of the antecubital fossa, or elbow pit, and put the earpieces in your ears. The gauge for the machine should sit in your cuffed hand, if you're taking your own measurements, or you can just hold it if you're taking someone else's measurements. Squeeze the pump quickly (with the opposite hand if you're reading yourself). When you get to 30 points above what your systolic pressure (high end) normally is, you can stop. If you are working on someone else, inflate it to the 160 to 180 range, though if you immediately hear heartbeats, you'll need to go higher. Begin letting the air out by turning the knob counterclockwise. It should only drop the gauge 2 to 3 points a second. Make sure deflation shows steady on the gauge. When you hear the first heartbeat, note where the gauge is, as that's the systolic pressure. When the heartbeat stops, note where the gauge is again, which is the diastolic pressure. You can deflate and remove the cuff.
Summary:
Have the person sit quietly. Try an automatic machine. Set up a manual blood pressure cuff. Inflate the cuff on a manual blood pressure cuff. Release the air to read blood pressure.
