Problem: Article: A pregnancy test is very accurate if you take it after you should have had your period. You can buy pregnancy tests at drugstores, big box stores, and grocery stores. You'll find them with either the family planning products or feminine hygiene products. A few tests are accurate before your missed period, but it should say so on the box. Take the test when you wake up, as it will be more accurate. Follow the directions on your box, but generally, you urinate on one end of a stick that has a test strip. After you're done, put it on a flat surface. Give it about five minutes or so to work. The package should tell you what to be looking for. Some tests show two lines for pregnant, while others are a single blue line. Most of the time, if you get a negative result, you're not pregnant. However, if you did the test too early (before your first missed period), it may come back with a negative result even if you are pregnant. If you want to be sure, you may need to take the test again. Try taking it again after you should have had a period. Although modern home pregnancy tests are highly accurate, you want to be 100% sure. Plus, if you are pregnant, you'll want to make a plan, such as deciding if you want to keep the baby or starting prenatal care. You can either take a confidential urine test at a family planning clinic like Planned Parenthood or at your physician's or gynecologist's office. Even if a urine test is positive, your doctor may draw blood to confirm that you are pregnant. Then the doctor can help you figure out a plan.
Summary: Take a home pregnancy test. Decide if you need to do it again with a negative result. Confirm a positive result with a doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: 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.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Turn on or light the grill and leave it to preheat to medium, which is about 350F (177C). You can cook the sweet potatoes on any type of grill you like, including: Gas Wood Charcoal Electric Rinse the sweet potatoes under running water. As you rinse them, use a vegetable brush or clean cloth to scrub the skin and remove dirt. Pat the sweet potatoes dry with a clean towel and place them on a cutting board. Sweet potato skins are thin and packed with nutrients, so there's no need to peel them before grilling. Hold a sweet potato steady with one hand and use a sharp knife to carefully cut it in half lengthwise. Place the halves cut-side down on the cutting board. Cut each half lengthwise into quarters, and each quarter into eighths. Each sweet potato will give you 8 wedges. You can also slice the sweet potato widthwise into quarter-inch (6-mm) medallions instead of wedges if you like. In a small bowl, combine the oil, salt, lime zest, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to combine them into a dressing to season the sweet potato wedges. Add black pepper, to taste, and whisk to incorporate the new addition. The lime zest will help to balance the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. You can substitute lemon zest for the lime zest, or add a tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon or lime juice to the dressing for even more of a citrus taste. Drizzle the dressing over the sweet potatoes. Use a spoon to mix the sweet potatoes around in the bowl and coat them evenly with the dressing. You can season the sweet potatoes with a teaspoon (2 g) of any other herbs or spices you like, including: Cinnamon Ginger Paprika Chili powder Rosemary Thyme Chipotle powder Use a pair of metal or heat-proof tongs to transfer the wedges to the grill. Arrange them diagonally on the rack in a single layer so you get the classic grill marks. Place a heat-proof metal lid or bowl over the wedges to keep in the heat and help them cook faster. Flip the wedges twice as they cook. Continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are tender, can be pierced easily with a fork, and are golden browned. Remove the wedges from the grill with a metal spatula or tongs. Arrange the wedges on a serving platter and finish them with the cilantro and extra salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the wedges with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, salsa, or chipotle mayonnaise. You can use fresh parsley in place of the cilantro.
Summary:
Preheat the grill. Wash the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. Make the dressing. Toss the wedges with the dressing. Arrange the wedges on the hot grill. Cover and grill the wedges for 40 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
