Problem: Article: Set an alarm or write it down in a journal or on the calendar. Schedule your doses so that they are associated with normal daily activities like brushing your teeth or your regular bedtime. The patient leaflet will tell you if your antibiotic should be taken with food or if you must take it on an empty stomach. Food interferes with the absorption of some antibiotics. On the other hand, food may help prevent the stomach upset caused by other antibiotics. The information leaflet will specify how to take your medication. Do not fail to take the antibiotic because you cannot swallow a large tablet or the liquid’s taste is too unpleasant. The antibiotic is an essential part of your treatment. The doctor has the option of prescribing the antibiotic in a different form or trying a totally different antibiotic. Take the drug as soon as you remember if you forget to take it. If it is close to your next dose, just wait. Continue with your normal dosing schedule as usual.  Call your doctor if you end up missing several doses or more than one day’s worth. She can advise you how to proceed.  Skipping doses prevents you from maintaining therapeutic levels of the antibiotic in your system.  The microorganisms are not being inhibited or destroyed properly. You increase your chances of experiencing side effects when you have too much of the antibiotic in your body at once. Call your doctor if you accidentally take too many doses, as you may need to take medical action.  Do not compensate for a skipped dose by taking more than the prescribed amount of antibiotic. In most cases, antibiotic overdose does not cause severe symptoms, although it may cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Even if you are starting to feel better, an incomplete drug course can lead to antibiotic resistance and/or a recurrence of your symptoms.  You may end up needing a second course of antibiotics. A complete course of antibiotics allows you enough time to eradicate the bacteria from your system. When you prematurely stop taking the antibiotic, the bacteria may not all be cleared completely from your system. The bacteria that survive are the strongest, and they are thus harder for the antibiotic to kill. These bacteria may also change or mutate, making the antibiotic less effective against this new strain. Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem, but using antibiotics wisely as prescribed can help prevent it.
Summary: Keep track of when your next dose is due. Schedule your doses around your meals and snacks. Tell your doctor if you having difficulty taking the antibiotic. Do not skip doses of the antibiotic. Do not take extra doses of the antibiotic. Take all of your antibiotic doses.

Problem: Article: In a study on empathy in pigs, researchers looked at how pigs responded when their pen mates were placed in stressful or potentially harmful situations. When one group of pigs were in danger or experiencing a threat, the other group responded with stress signals like pushing their ears back and becoming more alert. This indicates that pigs have the ability to show emotional contagion, where they share the emotional response that another pig is having, which is a key part to having the capacity for empathy. While you may not want to conduct your own test on animals, you can observe if the animal reacts when another animal appears in danger or under stress. The animal may respond with stress related noises or actions, such as a more alert or rigid body movements, cries or howls, and moving towards the animal under stress. In a study on empathy in elephants, a researcher observed an elephant mother who gave birth to a stillborn baby. The mother then guarded her dead calf for two days and tried several times to revive the dead calf’s body. When the researcher offered the elephant mother water, the elephant drank the water and then touched her chest as if in a sign of mourning. Though elephants have been one of the more studied animals in terms of empathy, an animal may display empathy by trying to protect an injured animal from a predator. The animal may also respond to a dead animal by displaying signs of mourning over their body or to others, such as the elephant mother touching her chest. Often, animals of the same species will protect each other and respond to the needs of their herd or pack. You may observe animals working together to build a habitat, such as a den, or you may observe animals working as a team to capture a prey or elude a predator. These group related activities can be a sign of empathy among the animals, as they must focus on how their fellow animals are thinking and feeling and respond to it in kind.
Summary: Look to see if the animal reacts to another animal when they are stressed or in danger. Note if the animal responds to an injured animal or a dead animal in the area. Check if the animal works together with other animals.

Problem: Article: List every item that you have in stock. This will be the list that help you stay organized with your inventory in the future. Keep in mind that you may have multiple locations. If you have more than one stock room, make sure to list which stock room you’re taking inventory for. List items that are no longer available. Even if you have run out of a certain item, keep it on the report and you’ll list it as “0” stock. When listing your items, think of a good way that will help you search for items on your inventory report. Try listing them alphabetically or by serial number. Under your inventory items, leave a space for description. This will help you keep track of differences in items. For example, you can list separate colors or sizes in this space but have a total inventory count next to the original item. Also, you can mark down if an item is damaged or missing in your description. Depending on the kind of inventory you have, list prices. The price may be what you paid for the item, what price you sell the item at, your bottom expenses, or your bottom earnings from the item. Next to the list of your items, make a column where you can list the amount of stock you have per item. If necessary, leave room for labels—boxes, dozen, pairs, etc.
Summary:
List your inventory items. List them in an organized fashion. Keep a space for description. Assign a price to each item. Make a column to list stock remains.
