Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Insert any medicine into your cat's mouth while you have the mouth open. Force your cat to swallow. Maintain the same position for a few seconds before removing the covers and releasing your cat.

Answer: Using your pointer finger and thumb, put the pill toward the back of the mouth over the tongue in one quick movement. Then quickly withdraw your fingers so you don’t get bit. If you are worried about getting bit, you can purchase a pill popper that is like a long syringe with a plunger that you place the pill in and pass this into the cat’s mouth. Don’t just shove a pill down the back of your cat’s throat. The pill could accidentally enter the cat’s windpipe, causing choking. Conversely, damage could be done to the back of the throat if the pill is forced down the esophagus. Let go of the cat’s mouth and hold its top jaw or face so that its nose points upward. Rub your cat's throat gently to trigger the swallowing reflex.  Use a syringe to place a small amount of water in the commissure between the lips to encourage the pill to “go down” the esophagus. This prevents the pill from irritating or “sticking” in the throat and damaging the tissues. DO NOT shoot the water down the back of the throat or the cat may inhale the water into its lungs. You don't want your cat to injure itself while trying to get away, so you should try to calm it down before releasing it. Also, don't forget to give your cat a lot of praise and some tasty treats as a reward for good behavior.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Perform background research. Learn how to conduct obtrusive observation. Take notes. Conduct interviews. Stay rigorous. Collect all of your data and analyze it. Write your final case study report.

Answer: If studying people, research information in their past that may be relevant, possibly including medical history, family history, or history of an organization. A good background knowledge of the research topic and similar case studies could help guide your own research as well, especially if you are writing a critical interest case study. Any case study, but especially case studies with a retrospective component, will benefit from basic academic research strategies. In a case study involving human participants, ethics guidelines do not typically allow you to "spy" on the participants. You must practice obtrusive observation, where the participants are aware of your presence. Unlike a quantitative study, you may talk with the participants, make them feel comfortable, and include yourself in activities. Some researchers do attempt to maintain a distance, but be aware that your presence will affect the behavior of the participants regardless of the relationship you form with them.  Establishing trust with participants can result in less inhibited behavior. Observing people in their home, workplaces, or other "natural" environments may be more effective than bringing them to a laboratory or office. Having subjects fill out a questionnaire is a common example of obtrusive research. Subjects know they are being studied, so their behavior will change, but this is a quick and sometimes the only way to gain certain information. Extensive notes during observation will be vital when you are compiling your final report. In some case studies, it may be appropriate to ask the participant to record experiences in a diary. Depending on the total length of your case study, you might hold an interview weekly, once every month or two, or just once or twice a year. Begin with the interview questions you prepared in the planning phase, then iterate to dig deeper into the topic:   Describe experience — ask the participant what it's like to go through the experience you're studying, or be a part of the system you're studying.  Describe meaning — ask the participant what the experience means to them, or what "life lessons" they take from it. Ask what mental and emotional associations they have with the subject of your study, whether it's a medical condition, an event, or another topic.  Focus – in later interviews, prepare questions that fill gaps in your knowledge, or that are particularly relevant to the development of your research questions and theories over the course of the study. A case study may feel less data-driven than a medical trial or a scientific experiment, but attention to rigor and valid methodology remains vital. If you find yourself drawn to studying a participant on one extreme end of the spectrum, set aside time to observe a more "typical" participant as well. When reviewing your notes, question your chain of logic and discard possible conclusions that do not have detailed observation backing them up. Any sources you cite should be thoroughly checked for reliability. After reading and referring back to your original bullet points, you may find that the data reacts in a surprising manner. You need to pull your information together and focus it before writing case studies, especially if your research was performed in intervals across months or years. If you are working with more than one person you will want to assign sections for completion together to make sure your case study will flow. For example, one person may be in charge of making charts of the data you gathered, while other people will each write an analysis of one of your bullet points you are trying to answer. Based on the research questions you designed and the type of case study you conducted, this may be a descriptive report, an analytic argument grounded in a specific case, or a suggested direction for further research or projects. Include your most relevant observations and interviews in the case study itself, and consider attaching additional data (such as full interviews) as an appendix for readers to refer to. If writing a case study for a non-academic audience, consider using a narrative form, describing the events that occurred during your case study in chronological order. Minimize your use of jargon.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go for a walk or a jog. Play a game of tennis. Play soccer. Take a dance or aerobics class. Go hiking and enjoy nature.

Answer: Walking and jogging have many health benefits and can be easily done with a broken wrist. Depending on your exercise goal, you can adjust your distance and intensity to make the exercise harder.  Be sure to keep your wrist in a neutral position while walking. Slightly tighten your stomach muscles and keep your back straight to engage your core muscles. Regular walking and jogging have many health benefits, including strengthening your bones and muscles, helping to maintain healthy weight, and improving coordination and balance. Tennis is one of those sports you can do one-handed. It also gives nice variability to walking and jogging. As with walking, keep your broken wrist in a sling in a neutral position at all times while using your uninjured hand for playing.  Besides burning fat and improving your cardiovascular fitness, tennis also helps build muscles in your legs and especially in the arm and shoulder you are playing with. Jumping and running will also help improve bone density and bone strength. Soccer involves a lot of running and is a great way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, while having fun with your friends. Secure your broken wrist in a sling and get your feet kicking. Besides offering the same health benefits as the exercises above, dancing/aerobics does it with style. And if you get tired of one type of class, switch it up and try the different choices available, such as jazzercise, Zumba or step aerobic class. Be sure to have your wrist positioned neutrally and avoid all moves that engage it (perform these with one hand only). Hiking is an excellent workout that can be very strenuous depending on the route you take. Climb up those hills carefully, as you do not want to fall and further injure the wrist. Walking uphill will increase your cardiac output and burn some extra calories. Don’t forget to enjoy the scenery. Besides improving your fitness, this can be very relaxing and stress-relieving as well.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rinse your geodes. Put on protective gloves and googles. Mix a cleaning solution. Soak the geode in wood bleach for a few hours. Keep soaking the geode until it's clean. Wash the geode with warm water.

Answer:
If iron residue is stuck on your geode, you will need to soak it in wood bleach to clean it. To start, give your geode a light rinsing under the faucet to remove any dirt or debris. Wood bleach can be very harmful to the hands and eyes. Safety precautions are important if your'e working with wood bleach, so throw on a pair of gloves and goggles before handling the bleach. Typically, to soak a geode, you should mix an eighth cup of wood bleach in five liters of water. However, make sure to read the label on the bleach you purchased. Some bleaches may need to be diluted more than others. Submerge your geode completely in the wood bleach mixture. Allow it to soak for around two to three hour before checking on it. If the iron is gone, you can remove the geode at this point. If there is still iron on the geode, check it again in about half an hour. Be vigilant about checking the geode frequently until the iron is removed. Letting the geode linger in wood bleach for too long can harm the geode. After the iron is removed, take the geode out of the bleach solution. Wash off the bleach by running the geode under warm water. Make sure to wear gloves when removing the geode from the bleach.
