Summarize the following:
Remove fleas manually from newborn kittens with a pair of tweezers. Their fur is thin enough that you should be able to easily spot and remove fleas. It's not safe to bathe newborn kittens. Never use over-the-counter flea medication on newborn kittens. Fleas do not just live on pets. Fleas can live in your carpeting, furniture, and bedding. You will have to thoroughly clean your home to fully eliminate a flea infestation.  Wash all your kitten's toys and bedding in warm water. Steam clean furniture. Sweep and vacuum frequently. A flea bath will not effectively get rid of all your cat's fleas. Flea control and management requires multiple approaches. Talk to your vet about a safe flea medication to use on your kitten. Flea medications can help kill any new fleas that get on your kitten after its flea bath. Do not medicate your kitten without consulting a vet. Many flea medications have minimum weight requirements for safety.

summary: Do not bathe newborn kittens. Make sure to eliminate fleas in other areas. Use a medication to follow up with flea treatment.

A number of practices have been linked to lower incidence of gallbladder disease:  Consume polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Eat plenty of fiber. Ingest caffeine as part of your daily diet. Follow a vegetarian diet. Avoid excessive intake of refined sugars such as sucrose and fructose. Some circumstantial evidence indicates eating large quantities of legumes can increase your incidence of contracting gallbladder disease.  Consume a minimal quantities of alcohol. Consider eating several one-ounce servings per week of peanuts or other nuts.  This has proven useful in studies involving female subjects, in particular.  Eat regularly; avoid skipping meals. Nutritional supplements containing vitamin C, soy lecithin, and iron have proven useful in preventing the development of gallstones. Rapid weight loss can increase the risk of developing gallstones.  While obesity is a risk factor for gallbladder disease, you’ll want to eliminate this risk factor slowly through careful weight loss.  Slow, steady weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week is best. Identifying and then avoiding foods that cause allergic reactions in your system can reduce your risk of developing gallstones.

summary: Follow dietary practices that have been demonstrated to prevent gallstones. Consume preventive nutritional supplements. Lose weight slowly and then maintain a healthy body weight. Pursue allergy testing and then eliminate allergenic foods from your diet.

Quick release gait belts have 2-piece buckles located on either end of the belt strap. To secure the buckle, push the “male” side into the “female” side until you hear a snap, then tug on the closed buckle to make sure it's secure. To unbuckle the belt, simultaneously press down on the tabs at the top and bottom of the closed buckle, and pull the 2 buckle components apart at the same time. As with a standard gait belt, the buckle can cause discomfort if it's positioned directly over the center of the patient's abdomen. Slide it a little to the right or left of center, based on the patient's preference. Some excess belt strap will already be looped through and hanging free from one of the sides of the buckle—typically the “male” side. Pull on the strap until the belt is at the proper tightness around the patient's waist, with the bottom of the belt just touching the tops of the hip bones. You should be able to slide your fingers behind the belt, but not be able to pinch the fabric between your fingers. The excess belt strap can be a tripping hazard, so get it out of the way by tucking it once or more behind the fitted belt. If there is an excessive amount of strapping left, wrap it loosely around the patient's body once or twice (above the fitted belt), then tuck it in.
summary: Snap the two sides of the plastic buckle together. Move the buckle to the right or left of the patient's belly button. Pull the loose end of the belt strap to secure the belt tightly. Tuck the loose strap end into the belt for safety reasons.
