Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check your hand iron to see if the plate is dirty or stained with red. Plug in your iron. Lay a large, clean cotton sheet across your ironing board.

Answer: Clean it with a paste of one tbsp. (14.8 ml) of water and two tbsp. (13.8 g) of baking soda. Spread it on the iron, scrub lightly and wipe it off with a damp cloth. Heat it up on the silk setting or the lowest setting if your iron doesn’t have a delicate/silk setting. Wait at least five minutes while it heats up. Creating a cotton barrier will prevent colors from other fabrics from leaching onto your silk. Both the cotton barrier and your cotton press cloth should be pure cotton and white or natural color.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Listen to what others are saying. Try to suspend your judgement. Repeat what others say back to them. Let others know that you've heard them.

Answer: Having empathy means being able to put yourself in another person's shoes and to understand her state of mind and how she feels. To do this, though, you have to be able to listen. Follow the advice above, but also use active listening techniques.  Focus your attention on what the other person is saying. There is no need to say anything at first. In fact, it's better to just let her talk. Don't interrupt to give your opinion. At the same time, though, signal that you're paying attention by nodding, acknowledging points, or with verbal cues like, “Yes” or “I see.” Do these things without breaking into the flow of conversation. To empathize, you'll need to temporarily push your own opinions and judgments to the side until you hear your peer out. This can be hard. However, the point is to try to understand what the other person is feeling and not to insert your own perspective. This means you should focus on her experience.  You don't ultimately need to accept the other person's perspective. But you have to let go of your own opinions, value scale, and perspective to gain access to her mental state. Do not dismiss the other person's perspective, for one thing. Insisting that the topic isn't important or telling your peer to “Just get over it” is completely dismissive and defensive. Avoid comparisons, too. Your experiences may be totally different and miss or minimize what your peer is feeling. For instance, it's best not to say something like “You know, I used to feel the same way when X happened…” Don't try to offer solutions, either. The point of empathy isn't necessarily to solve a problem, but to hear a person out. If you want to really listen to another person and what they have to say, engage them actively but respectfully. Restate points to make sure that you've understood – without interrupting. You can also consider asking questions.  When your peer has expressed a point, repeat the main point back to her in slightly different words, i.e. “If I understand you, you're upset because you don't feel we communicate well.” This not only shows that you're paying attention, but helps you to grasp the other person's feelings, whatever they may be. Ask open-ended questions to draw out further details, too. “You're pretty frustrated with me, no?” doesn't add much. However, you can elicit more helpful conversation with a question like, “What is it about our relationship that frustrates you so much?” Last, affirm what your peer has said. Let her know that you've listened, understood, and appreciated the importance of the conversation, even if you haven't yet resolved the problem. This communicates that you are being open-minded rather than defensive and leaves room for future dialogue.  Say something like, “What you've told me isn't easy to hear, Jack, but I know it's important to you and I will consider it” or “Thank you for telling me this, Aisha. I'll think what you've said over carefully.” You still don't have to agree or accept your peer's position. However, by being empathetic rather than defensive you can open the way for compromise and a solution.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to the doctor. Choose a medical transport company. Compare costs. Make an appointment. Use 911 for an emergency.

Answer:
When it comes to non-emergency medical transport, you can get it paid for by Medicare and other insurances, but it has to be ordered by a doctor and be medically necessary. If a person you are caring for needs this kind of transport, first talk to the doctor. If the person doesn't qualify for transport, you can still book transport for them if they can pay for it out of pocket. Most doctor's offices will have a preferred transport service that they will call if you don't have the preference. In fact, in some states, the doctor's office must book the transport for you to be covered under Medicaid or Medicare. However, you can also choose a transport company yourself if you are paying for the service out-of-pocket. Look for non-emergency medical transport in the phone book or online.  If you're unsure which one to choose, ask for a recommendation at the doctor's office. Another way to help you narrow choices is to ask the transport company if they are authorized for Medicare or Medicaid. Companies that are contracted by the government for these services must meet certain standards. You can also ask about their safety record. If they're not willing to discuss it with you or send you information, they are likely not very safe. Cost is of course a factor when choosing a medical transport company. For instance, even if your transport is covered by Medicare, you'll likely need to pay the 20% co-pay. Therefore, it's a good idea to call several places to figure out which will be the cheapest for you overall. Some companies may require prepayment, particularly if you're not covered by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Once you have a medical appointment scheduled for the person, generally the doctor's office will schedule the transport for the person if they need it and if they qualify for it. Be sure to let the office know that the person needs transportation to the appointment. Obviously, emergency transportation services are reserved for when it's an emergency. If the person needs immediate care, due to a fall or other serious injury or illness, then calling an ambulance is appropriate. Generally, this service is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurances.
