Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day to avoid constipation. Eat plenty of fiber to keep your bowels clear.

Answer: Dehydration can cause constipation or make it worse. Make sure you drink plenty of water, at least 8-10 glasses per day so you stay hydrated.Other drinks will also keep you hydrated, but remember to avoid anything with caffeine or alcohol while you're pregnant. If plain water is too bland, you can add fresh fruit for more flavor. A diet rich in fiber will soften your stool, making it easy to pass and thus reducing hemorrhoid inflammation. Make sure you get 25-30 grams per day for ideal digestive health.  Good sources of fiber are leafy green vegetables, beans, broccoli, whole wheat bread and pasta, and fresh fruits. You can also use supplements like Citrucel or Metamucil. Check with your doctor to make sure fiber supplements are safe for you and take them exactly as directed.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sew the fabric with the right sides facing each other. Turn the fabric right side out. Add the elastic. Sew the elastic together. Sew the fabric ends together by hand.

Answer: Fold the fabric you cut out in half lengthwise so that the printed or colored side is facing inwards. Pin and sew a straight line by hand or with a sewing machine, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) seam allowance. After you sew the long side of your fabric, you should have a tube with two open ends. Turn the tube so the printed sides are facing out. Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic, and feed it through the fabric tube. Make sure to hold the other end of the elastic so it is not pulled through the tube. Pin the two ends of elastic together so that they overlap slightly. Sew stitches in the shape of a square so that the square covers the overlap, and then sew a diagonal through this box. The x-box stitch will ensure that the elastic will not come apart when you tug on it.  Hand sew or use a sewing machine for this part. Make sure not to sew the fabric to the elastic during this step. Use a whip stitch so the stitching will not be seen from the outside of the scrunchie. To make a whip stitch, first place the raw edges of the fabric on top of each other and fold the ends slightly inward. Sew stitches around the ends, alternating the stitch between each fabric end.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Solve a basic linear algebraic equation. Solve an algebraic equation with exponents. Solve an algebraic expression with fractions. Solve an algebraic expression with radical signs. Solve an algebraic expression that contains absolute value.

Answer: A linear algebraic equation is nice and simple, containing only constants and variables to the first degree (no exponents or fancy stuff). To solve it, simply use multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction when necessary to isolate the variable and solve for "x". Here's how you do it:  4x + 16 = 25 -3x = 4x = 25 -16 - 3x 4x + 3x = 25 -16 = 7x = 9 7x/7 = 9/7 = x = 9/7 If the equation has exponents, then all you have to do is find a way to isolate the exponent on one side of the equation and then to solve by "removing" the exponent by finding the root of both the exponent and the constant on the other side. Here's how you do it:  2x2 + 12 = 44 First, subtract 12 from both sides.  2x2 + 12 -12 = 44 -12 = 2x2 = 32 Next, divide both sides by 2.  2x2/2 = 32/2 = x2 = 16 Solve by taking the square root of both sides, since that will turn x2 into x.  √x2 = √16 = State both answers:x = 4, -4 If you want to solve an algebraic expression that uses fractions, then you have to cross multiply the fractions, combine like terms, and then isolate the variable. Here's how you would do it:  (x + 3)/6 = 2/3 First, cross multiply to get rid of the fraction. You have to multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other.  (x + 3) x 3 = 2 x 6 = 3x + 9 = 12 Now, combine like terms. Combine the constant terms, 9 and 12, by subtracting 9 from both sides.  3x + 9 - 9 = 12 - 9 = 3x = 3 Isolate the variable, x, by dividing both sides by 3 and you've got your answer.  3x/3 = 3/3 = x =1 If you're working with an algebraic expression with radical signs, all you have to do is find a way to square both sides so you can "get rid" of the radical sign and solve for the variable. Here's how you do it:  √(2x+9) - 5 = 0 First, move everything that isn't under the radical sign to the other side of the equation:  √(2x+9) = 5 Then, square both sides to remove the radical: (√(2x+9))2 = 52 = 2x + 9 = 25 Now, solve the equation as you normally would by combining the constants and isolating the variable:  2x = 25 - 9 = 2x = 16 x = 8 The absolute value of a number represents its value regardless of whether it is positive or negative; the absolute value is always positive. So, for example, the absolute value of -3 (also known as |3|), is simply 3. To find the absolute value, you have to isolate the absolute value and then solve for x twice, solving both for x with the absolute value simply removed, and for x when the terms on the other side of the equals sign have changed their signs from positive to negative and vice versa. Here's how to do it:  Here's how you solve for the absolute value by isolating the absolute value and then removing it: |4x +2| - 6 = 8 =  |4x +2| = 8 + 6 = |4x +2| = 14 = 4x + 2 = 14 = 4x = 12 x = 3 Now, solve again by flipping the sign of the term on the other side of the equation after you've isolated the absolute value:  |4x +2| = 14 = 4x + 2 = -14 4x = -14 -2 4x = -16 4x/4 = -16/4 = x = -4 Now, just state both answers: x = -4, 3


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the financial arrangement. Check the therapist's qualifications. Prepare any relevant documents. Gather a list of medications you are taking or have taken recently. Write reminder notes. Keep track of your appointment schedule.

Answer:
Knowing what sort of coverage your insurance plan offers for psychotherapy or how you plan to pay for therapy is very important. Check your description of plan benefits for information on behavioral health services or coverage for mental health. When in doubt, ask the human resources representative of your insurance company directly. And, ask the therapist if they accept your insurance before making your first appointment. Otherwise you may have to pay out of pocket when you could be seeing a therapist in your insurer's network.  When you meet, remember to take care of payment, scheduling, and insurance questions at the start of the session. This way you will be able to end the session sharing, without the disturbance of logistical issues like calendar checking and payment.  Know that if you see a therapist in a private practice, they may provide you with a receipt that you will submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. You might be responsible for the entire cost of the visit up front, and then be reimbursed through your insurance company. Therapists come from many different backgrounds, and have different forms of education, specialization, certification, and licensing. "Psychotherapist" is a general term, rather than a specific job title or indication of education, training or licensure.   The following are red flags, indicating that the therapist may not be properly qualified:  No information provided about your rights as a client, confidentiality, office policies, and fees (all of which would allow you to fairly consent to your therapy) No license issued by the state or jurisdiction in which they practice. A degree from a non-accredited institution. Unresolved complaints filed with their licensing board. The more information your therapist has about you, the better they will be able to do their job. Helpful documents might include reports from previous psychological tests or recent hospital discharge summaries. If you are a student, you may also want to bring recent grades or other recent markers of progress. This will be helpful during your intake interview, when the therapist may ask you to fill out forms about your current and past physical and emotional health.  By streamlining this part of your visit, you and your therapist will have more opportunity to get to know each other on a person-to-person level. If you are already taking any medications for mental or physical health, or if you have recently stopped a medication, you will want to come prepared with the following information:  Name of the drug(s) Your dosage Side effects you are experiencing Contact information of the providing doctor(s) When meeting for the first time, you may have lots of different questions and concerns. In order to address everything you want to know, write some notes reminding you to gather all the information you need. Bringing these to your first session will help you feel less confused and more at ease. Notes might include the following questions for your therapist:  What therapeutic approach do you use? How will we define our goals? Will you expect me to complete assignments to do between sessions? How frequently will we meet? Will our work together be short-term or long-term? Are you willing to collaborate with my other health care providers to treat me more effectively? Because therapy is meant to provide you with a safe space to work on yourself, time must be managed wisely. Once you are in the session it's the therapist's job to keep track of time, allowing you to focus on answering questions and adjusting to the feel of therapy. But, it's up to you to get yourself to that point. Be aware that some private therapists charge for missed appointments, and these fees are not covered by insurance.
