Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap. Lather the soap for at least 30 seconds and scrub under your nails, between your fingers, and up your wrists. Dry your hands with a clean paper towel.  You can also put on disposable gloves to administer the injection. Make sure your patient doesn’t have a latex allergy; if so, use non-latex gloves such as those made out of nitrile. MMR is delivered subcutaneously, into the fatty tissue beneath the skin and above the muscle layer. For patients under 12 months old, choose a fatty site over the upper outer (anterolateral) thigh muscle. For anyone over 12 months, you can use the anterolateral thigh or the fatty tissue over the triceps muscle. Ask adult patients if they prefer one injection site over another. Open a new, sterile alcohol wipe. Rub the site in a circular motion starting in the center and extending out 2-3 inches. Let the alcohol dry. If giving more than one vaccine, use a separate injection site for each one. You can give MMR on the same day as other vaccines. Stabilize the arm or leg that will receive the injection with your non-dominant hand. Gently pinch up the skin to allow for better access to the fatty layer. Hold the needle about an inch from your patient. Quickly insert the needle at a 45° angle to the patient’s body. Push down on the plunger with steady pressure to inject the vaccine.   Remove the needle at the same angle you inserted it. Dispose of the needle in a sharps container. Do not attempt to recap the needle unless it has a built-in safety cap device. Apply gentle pressure to the area immediately after removing the needle. Cover this with a small piece of gauze and hold it in place with medical tape. Inform your patient they can remove the bandage later that day.

Vinegar contains acetic acid, which effectively kills weeds. Keep in mind that vinegar is non-selective and will kill any living plant it touches, not just weeds. White vinegar can be used alone, or you can add additional ingredients to the vinegar to make an even stronger solution.  Avoid using vinegar on or near your lawn, since it will kill the grass. Vinegar will raise the acidity of your soil. Before planting, test the pH of your soil and adjust it accordingly, if needed. Use horticultural vinegar with 20% acetic acid for increased effectiveness between pavers or on patios. The extra acidity will affect the pH balance of your soil and other plants. Lemon juice contains high levels of citric acid and can be effective when used with the white vinegar. If you want to try it, simply mix the lemon juice in with your 2 c (400 mL) of white distilled vinegar. Dish soap can be a helpful addition to vinegar when you're dealing with weeds that have a waxy coating or a “hairy” surface, like dandelion and crabgrass. The fuzzy exterior blocks the absorption of vinegar, but dish soap will penetrate the outer protective layer of the plant and help the mixture stick to the leaves.  You can use dish soap or dishwasher detergent in liquid or powder form. Dish soap can be used in conjunction with a lemon-vinegar mixture, but a soap and vinegar solution will be very effective. Isopropyl alcohol can be very effective when mixed with white vinegar or even when used alone. You can also use cheap gin to achieve similar results. Simply add the alcohol of your choice to the white vinegar and stir it thoroughly. You can use alcohol, vinegar, and lemon juice together in one mixture, but a solution that strong may cause soil damage. You can use the full-strength solution if your weed problem is severe, but this is typically too strong. A 50/50 mix diluted with water will be very effective on weeds without traumatizing the area where it's used. Full strength solutions may penetrate the soil and kill the roots of plants other than weeds. They can also disturb crucial microorganisms in the soil. Use a funnel to transfer the solution to a spray bottle, then replace the nozzle tightly. Apply the solution to the weeds and monitor the results for 24 hours. If needed, you can apply more solution, but you probably won't need to.  Set the nozzle to "stream" rather than "spray" if the weeds are growing close to plants that you don't want to kill. Don't forget -- weed killer does not discriminate. It will kill any plant it comes in contact with, so use it carefully!

Add 1 to 2 tsp (7 to 14 mL) of dish soap to kill particular plants. Mix 1 fl oz (30 mL) of rubbing alcohol into white vinegar. Dilute the vinegar solution 1:1 with water. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and apply it to your weeds.


There are some people that need to be handcuffed in front of their bodies. This list can include pregnant women and people with limited mobility in their arms. This limits their mobility and gives you greater control. Hold their wrists together from the underside of their hands, close to their pinkies. If they begin to resist, you can hold their pinkies together and have greater control. Place the other cuff on the suspect quickly and accurately. Do this by grasping the suspect’s wrists with your left hand and then removing your right hand. The suspect should have pressure on their wrists at all times. The chain should be coming out from the hands and away from the body. If your cuffs have a double locking mechanism, now is the time to lock it.
