Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Store condoms safely. Open the condom wrapper using the easy-tear edges. Make sure the reservoir at the tip of the condom is pointing in the right direction. Lube it up. Make sure the penis is fully erect. Pinch the entire reservoir at the tip of the condom shut. Smooth lubricant over the condom if necessary. Check the condom periodically during use for breaks. Replace the condom if alternating between different types of sex.

Answer: Condoms can become brittle and more likely to break if you don’t store them correctly. Condoms that are exposed to heat or light are more likely to tear.  Don’t keep condoms in your back pocket, wallet, or glovebox. If you think you may get lucky, put a couple in your wallet or car right before you hit the town. Don’t leave them there for days or weeks. Store condoms in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep condoms in their wrappers until you’re ready to use them. Push the condom away from the edge you plan to tear, and use the easy-tear edges. These are the zig-zag edges on either side of the wrapper that are designed to tear apart quickly and easily.  Don't get carried away in your passion. Don't shred open the foil, and stay away from scissors, teeth, machetes, or any other sharp instrument to open a condom wrapper, or you could tear the condom itself! A torn condom won’t protect against pregnancy or STDs.  If it's your last condom and you destroy it, party's over! This reservoir should already be on the outer tip of the condom, but it can sometimes become inverted during packaging. Make sure the reservoir is oriented so that the rest of the condom rolls away from it. Consider placing a small drop of water-based lubricant inside the reservoir. This can make the condom easier to apply, especially if you are uncircumcised. Make sure this is a very small drop, as you don’t want to compete with the sperm for space inside the reservoir tip.  Do not apply lotion, baby oil, petroleum jelly, or oil-based lube, as it will degrade and weaken the latex. A condom should always fit snugly over a penis, leaving no tight or baggy spots. If rolled over a penis that is not yet fully erect, it will fit awkwardly and be more likely to fall off or tear during sex. The condom should go from the package to your genitals relatively quickly. Don't unwrap the condom until you are fully erect and ready to use it. Never try to reuse a condom. This eliminates the possibility of creating an air pocket inside the condom when it is worn, reducing the chance of breakage and providing the semen with a place to go during ejaculation. Sexual lubrication decreases the risk of damage to not only the condom, but also reduces friction and increases pleasure for  those having sex. Some lubricants even contain spermicides that can help reduce the risk of pregnancy. However, spermicides can increase the risk of transmitting an STD. If your condom isn’t already lubricated, apply it to both the condom and the other partner, particularly if you are engaging in anal sex.  Do not over-apply lube, as too much may cause the condom to fall off and friction is necessary for stimulation. Again, Never apply an oil- or petroleum-based lubricant to a latex condom, as these can cause it to deteriorate. Water- and silicon-based lubricants are both safe to use with latex, but water-based lube washes off more easily and won’t stain your sheets. If a condom breaks or comes off during sex, replace it immediately and consider using emergency contraception such as the emergency contraception pill. An emergency contraception pill (sometimes called the morning-after pill) prevents pregnancy before it happens by delaying ovulation or blocking fertilization; it is not an "abortion pill." If switching from anal to vaginal sex, for example, switch condoms to reduce the risk of infection. For example, e. coli  from the rectum can cause bladder infections or a severe vaginal infection. If the penis goes from anus to mouth, that can cause a serious infection in the stomach. You should also replace the condom if you are using it on a sex toy that you’re sharing between partners. Basically, if the condom has your fluids in or on it, change it out before sharing.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Read survey questions word-for-word. Familiarize yourself with data entry. Enter each response carefully.

Answer:
When conducting the survey, stick to the script. Chances are, whoever wrote the questionnaire thought long and hard about the types of questions they wanted to ask. By reading each question verbatim, you’ll elicit the exact responses your employer is looking for and reduce the possibility of skewing survey responses. Depending on the survey, you may need to become familiar with the program or software your employer has chosen for entering data. Programs like Microsoft Excel, among others, are popular choices. Spend some time navigating the software so you’ll be aware of its limitations and unique features. This will prepare you to enter data efficiently and reduce the risk of mistakes. With computer-assisted telephone interviewing, you are given specific questions to ask the respondent. When he or she gives you a response, you enter that response into the computer, where it is immediately entered into the database. Make sure you enter each response just as you heard it to ensure accurate data analysis and interpretation.  You may find it helpful to pace the interview by alternating between simple questions and those that require lengthier responses. If you have an involved question, follow it up with a yes or no question to allow yourself enough time to record the answers accurately. Some data entry programs will check your entries for errors, but it’s always a good idea to spot check your work.
