Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know what to expect. Consider nicotine replacement therapy. Join a smoking cessation support group. Get help from a behavioral therapist. Access resources that inspire you to stop smoking.

Answer: Ask your doctor and read up on nicotine withdrawal, so you'll know what sort of symptoms and effects you might experience. Some common signs of nicotine withdrawal include: Dizziness Intense nicotine cravings Increased appetite or a greater desire to snack Trouble sleeping Sickness resembling the common cold or flu Gastrointestinal distress such as constipation Replacement products and medications may ease your withdrawal symptoms and help you stick to being smoke-free.  Ask your doctor which products may be right for you.  Nicotine replacement therapy may come in the form of patches, gum, or prescription inhalers or sprays that reduce cravings. As your withdrawal symptoms fade and you adjust to not smoking, you can work with your doctor to gradually taper off nicotine replacement therapy. Having support during this time is vital, so sign up for a group in your local community. In these groups, you might hear others' stories and get practical tips on dealing with withdrawal. Smoking cessation groups may be sponsored by local hospitals, clinics, libraries, and churches. Ask your doctor for a recommendation. A behavioral therapist can help you develop strategies and lifestyle changes for coping with your nicotine withdrawal. They can also work with you to better understand your motivation for giving up smoking, which can help you stay on track. Take advantage of resources that offer tips and inspiration to quit smoking and help you better understand the withdrawal process. For instance, you might call a quitline to get support or join a quit program online.  Connect with the national quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. You can sign up for a text messaging program called Smoke-free TXT to get around the clock encouragement and support. Visit https://smokefree.gov/smokefreetxt to sign up.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Put her to bed when she is sleepy but still awake. Lay her down on her back. Turn off the lights. Feed her before you go to sleep for the night.

Answer: Look for signs of tiredness, such as yawning, heavy eyes, whininess, making fists, and eye rubbing. Putting her to bed and letting her fall asleep on her own will help her learn to soothe herself to sleep. Avoid eye contact at this stage, as it might stimulate her and wake her up again. Babies should always sleep on their backs, as babies who sleep on their tummies are at an increased risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Soothe your baby with physical contact as you transfer her to bed. Gently lay your hand on her stomach, arms, or head to reassure her that you are there and make her feel safe and secure. This includes bedroom lights, lamps, nightlights, monitors and screens, and anything else that might create artificial light. Unnatural light can interfere with our circadian rhythms, which is our natural sleep-wake cycle.  Consider dimming the lights during your pre-bed routine to reduce your baby’s exposure to light before it’s time to sleep.  Keep the room dark all night. Nighttime exposure to artificial light can suppress the body’s production of melatonin, which is the hormone responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. A mid-night feeding while she’s still asleep can stave off hunger longer, and may prevent your baby from waking up for an extra couple hours. Since she’ll be drinking slower and won’t swallow as much air, try forgoing burping after bedtime or mid-night feedings, because this may wake her up and make it difficult to get her back to sleep.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go to a dentist. Get a dental exam. Say yes for an x-ray. Consult an orthodontist.

Answer: Having regular visits to a dentist can correct any teeth problems and is highly recommended at least twice a year. If you experience discomfort or pain associated with the overbite, your dentist can provide the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. It is estimated that overbite affects up to 46% of children and nearly 30% of children would benefit from treatment. Thus, early diagnosis is essential for the treatment of overbite and to prevent any complications. A typical dental exam or checkup will be done by a dental hygienist followed by a consultation with the dentist. During the checkup, the overall condition of your teeth will be noted and the dentist will take a look at your teeth to assess if you have an overbite. Your dentist can usually diagnose overbite by just looking at your bite; however, they may also take dental x-rays to visualize your jaw and teeth. This is especially important in children if their permanent teeth have not yet erupted.  Dental x-rays help your dentist to diagnose how your child's permanent teeth are positioned and/or see any damage or dental diseases.  If the dentist sees any problems in your x-rays, including cavities or decays, treatment options will be discussed. If your dentist will confirm that you have an overbite, they will refer you to an orthodontist. An orthodontist is an expert at correcting and realigning the teeth.  Orthodontists have two to three years more education compared with dentists and are trained to treat overbite and other conditions due to misaligned teeth.  During your consultation, treatment options to correct the bite will be discussed. Treating an overbite is essential for your health as it can decrease your chances of tooth decay or gingivitis, and help lessen the strain malocclusion has on the teeth, jaws, and muscles.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Minimize interruptions. Learn how and when to interrupt. Know how to communicate in an emergency. Know what information helps them best make a decision. Provide data in the right volume and format. Keep a notebook for meetings. Ask your boss what's going on elsewhere in the corporation. Keep an accurate record of what your boss has asked you to do. Keep an accurate record of what you've asked of your boss.

Answer:
Time is your boss' most limited resource. Interruptions not only take up time, but people lose their train of thought and take additional time to recover. At least bunch up your questions to cut down on the number of interruptions. Each person has different preferences as to what media they prefer to work with as well as when during the day they prefer to deal with interruptions. Do you use IM, drop into their office or send them an e-mail or a phone call? It's critically important for you to understand your boss' preferences in this area. If there is a crisis affecting a client, how soon should you notify your boss? Should you make a call at 2 AM to let them know or just email them? Again, each boss has different preferences in how much information they need, what types of information, when, etc. Here are some alternatives.  Just present the problem, they'll solve it. Generally, however, bosses don't want to see problems without a recommended solution. Present the problem and a single recommended solution. Some bosses will trust your judgment and go with your recommendation. Other bosses want to see alternatives along with pros and cons. Present the problem and several alternative solutions, along with a recommendation. For some bosses, alternative solutions are just a waste of effort, but other bosses demand to see alternatives. Some people want to see just a few summary numbers, while others want pages and pages, seen from a variety of angles. For format, some want to see pie charts, bar charts with trends, etc. to summarize data at a high level. Others will want to see tables of numbers. Also watch to see what font and point size your boss and peers prefer. For some bosses, going to a meeting without a notebook and pen is considered an insult. A 6" by 9" spiral bound notebook is a good idea, since it keeps notes in date order and you avoid filing. One notebook serves for all your meetings. For some odd reason, this topic is frequently omitted. It's very important for your boss to tell the group about the expectations of his/her boss. Don't rely on your boss to do their job perfectly (more on this later), so try to augment your boss' skills with your own reminders. This is a no brainer. Your boss may forget, but don't you be caught forgetting. Be sure you understand when the task is due, what's expected, etc. Equally important as the previous step. Don't let requests drag on. Set your own deadline of when you'd like a response from your boss. On that date, the issue gets promoted from chronic to acute. Example: on Jan 2nd you give your boss your training plan for the year, asking for their approval. By Jan. 16th the lack of response from your boss begins to annoy you - it's become a chronic problem. Yes, it doesn't get any worse each day (you can bear it), but it's still a problem. So you set Feb 1st as the critical date. On that date, treat the lack of a response as acute - it's suddenly a serious problem and talk to your boss. This keeps the problem from festering until May 15th.
