Q: Apply gauze and a bandage to the injection site. Try to avoid massaging the injection site. By massaging the area, you may cause the medication to spread to the underlying subcutaneous tissues. Place the safety cap on the needle. Then throw away the needle in a sharps container. Additionally, properly dispose of any contaminated supplies. Remove your medical gloves and throw them away. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. Dry them with clean paper towels. It's a good idea to write down where on the body you administered the medication. This is especially useful if the patient gets injections often, as it will help other medical personnel know to rotate the injection sites so that one area is not constantly used.
A: Apply gauze. Discard the needle. Wash your hands. Make a note of the injection site.

Q: Hard water deposits gradually build up in your coffee maker. Yeast, mold and bacteria also tend to accumulate in coffee makers. Once per month, you will need to decalcify minerals and remove grime with water and vinegar. Let the machine cool off for a few minutes. Then, get your cleaning supplies together, such as your sponge, vinegar and dish soap. To get the hard water out of your coffee maker, you will need to mix a solution of equal parts vinegar and water. If your carafe has measuring indicators, you can use it to mix the solution. Then, pour the solution into the reservoir. You could also use a measuring cup to mix the vinegar and water solution.
A: Do a deep cleaning once per month. Unplug the machine. Mix a solution of equal parts vinegar and water.

Q: Applying a tourniquet increases the amount of blood in the vein to make them stand out more. The tourniquet should not be so tight that it cuts off the circulation. The tourniquet should be put on the arm about four inches above the vein. A blood pressure cuff that is inflated to 4060 mm Hg also works well. Warmth will make the patient's veins dilate and expand, making them easier to see. Contrary to popular culture, you should palpate the arm, rather than slapping it. Slapping the skin is poor technique that may result in a hematoma. Use your index finger to look for a vein, which feels soft and spongy. Don't use your thumb, as it contains its own pulse. The warm pack or water bottle should be put on the area before it is disinfected. Nothing more should touch the area after it is disinfected. Do not apply the warm pack or water bottle directly to the skin. Wrap it in a thin towel to prevent burns. If it hurts, it is too hot. Many people have needle phobias and nervousness and apprehension is a normal response. Stress not only makes the veins hard to hit, but it could also negatively affect the test results (particularly for biochemistry panels). Reassure your patient and explain that the pain is very brief and minor. Tell your patient to try visualization and deep breathing. Observe your patient and have them lie down on their back if you think they might faint. This will improve the blood flow to their head. It also reduces their chances of falling and injuring themselves if they do pass out.
A: Make sure your tourniquet has been applied properly. Put a warm pack or water bottle over the area. Use proper palpation techniques. Tell the patient to relax.

Q: Chop the stems finely -- you'll be using in the stuffing. You should also scoop out a bit of the insides of the mushrooms with a spoon to make room for the stuffing. Place 3 slices of finely-chopped bacon, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1 finely-chopped clove of garlic, and the chopped stems together in a frying pan. Saute them together in 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Cook them until the onion is soft and the stems have softened. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of soft breadcrumbs, 1/4 tsp. of oregano, and 1/4 tsp. of salt into the mixture. Gently mix the ingredients until they are all combined. Bake them for ten minutes -- long enough for the cheese to melt, but not long enough to burn the ingredients. Enjoy this delicious treat on its own or with a dollop of sour cream.
A:
Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Remove the stems from 1 lb. of button mushrooms. Make the stuffing. Drain the olive oil from the mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Place the stuffing in the mushroom caps. Place the mushroom caps on a cookie sheet. Bake them for 10 minutes. Serve.
