Article: The burn may have become infected or be more severe than you initially thought. Keep the burn properly dressed or covered and head to your doctor's office right away. These are signs that burn has become infected or more severe. Go to your doctor's office right away, as you are at risk of developing serious health issues due to the burn. Your doctor will clean the burn and examine it to determine how severe it is. They may ask you how you got the burn and how long ago you got the burn. As a precaution, they may give you an injection of tetanus to prevent bacteria from infecting the burn. For second degree burns, they will apply a hydrocolloid dressing, which contains gel that helps the burn to heal. You will need to change the dressing every 3-5 days until the burn heals. They may also give you prescription pain medication. If you have a third or fourth degree burn, your doctor will recommend debriding, where the burned tissue is removed, or a skin graft to cover the damaged skin. Most health insurance plans will cover the cost of treating second, third, and fourth degree burns. Speak to your insurance representative for more information.

Article: The term "pre-filled vaccine syringes", in this case, is not referring to influenza vaccine syringes specifically manufactured as individual doses by the vaccine manufacturer, and, instead, refers to multiple, individual dose syringes filled from either single-dose or multi-dose vials before patients arrive at the clinic. If you are running a flu-shot clinic, try not to use pre-filled vaccine syringes. This can help avoid administration errors. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that the person who administers the vaccine should be the one who draws it from the vial. Before administering the vaccine, you want to take several precautionary measures with the patient, including ensuring that he hasn't already had his annual vaccination. This can help ensure that the patient isn't overexposed to the virus or has a history of bad reactions to the vaccine. Always inquire about allergies to avoid giving a medication to a patient with previous reactions. If the patient is unclear, request formal medical record. Always use two step identification process asking patient name and date of birth to ensure right patient it receiving the injection. Get a copy of the patient's medical history. This can prevent medical errors. Ask the patient if he's had a history of bad reactions to the flu shot. Fever, dizziness or muscle pain may are common side effects of receiving the flu shot and should go away with time. Signs of severe allergy can include difficulty breathing, hives, wheezing, weakness and dizziness or heart palpitations. These symptoms are serious and should be evaluated immediately. The Flublok influenza vaccine may be a good option for those people who have had allergic reactions in the past. It is prepared without the use of eggs, which can sometimes be the cause of an allergic reaction. It also does not use the actual flu virus itself to create a vaccine. Every person who receives a flu shot must receive this statement. It explains the type of vaccine they received and how it works to keep them safe and eliminate flu epidemics. Document the date you provided the patient with the statement. Write it in the patient's chart or other vaccination record, if available. Ask the patient if she has any questions before continuing on to administer the dosage. In the medical record, it is important to include the expiration date of vaccine and lot number in case this information is needed in the future. The Centers for Disease Control also offers copies of the VIS on their website for informative purposes. Use soap and water to wash your hands before giving an injection of any kind. This can help prevent the spread of the flu virus or any other bacteria you or the patient may have. You don't need special soap to clean your hands, any type will do; however, it is recommended to use an antibacterial soap if possible. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If you like, use a hand sanitizer after you've washed your hands to kill any other bacteria you may have missed.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid pre-filled vaccine syringes. Take patient safety precautions. Provide the patient with a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS). Wash your hands.
Article: While steaming is the most common method used to cook momos, there are other ways to cook them. You can pan fry or deep fry them, or boil and serve them in a soup called mothuk. Fill your steamer pot with enough water to boil for several minutes. Set it over high heat. There is too much water in the pot if your steamer basket becomes submerged under the water once you set it in the pot. If you've used your steamer basket to keep your momos moist while shaping them, then you should be ready to go. If not, make sure to lightly grease your steamer basket with vegetable oil before setting your momos inside. This will keep them from sticking. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water and cover. Allow the momos to steam until they are done. The time it takes for them to cook will vary depending on the size of your momos. If you rolled your dough into balls by hand, your momos will likely be smaller than if you created your flat circles using a glass cup. For the smaller momos, let them steam for 5-6 minutes. For the larger momos, let them steam for closer to 10 minutes. Check the larger momos around 6 minutes to ensure they still need to cook for longer. Momos that are fully cooked will look transparent and will not feel sticky. Remove them from the steamer pan and sprinkle with the remaining scallions. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil. Carefully place each momo in the pan so that they do not touch each other or the sides of the pan. Fry each until golden brown on both sides. You can use a deep pan to fry your momos, but they cook best in a deep fryer. Fill your pan or deep fryer with a generous amount of oil, and allow it to get hot. Check to see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a piece of dough into the oil. If it bubbles, you can now add your momos to the oil to cook. Allow the momos to fry for a few minutes on each side. Take them out of the oil when they're done and set them on a paper towel to let the excess oil drain off. Momos are best served immediately and with a spicy sauce. The sauce can either be poured over the momo, or served on the side for dunking.

Decide how you'd like to cook your momos. Steam your momos. Pan fry your momos. Deep fry your momos. Serve your momos while they're still hot.
