Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask your patient to remain lying face-up. Wrap the  blood pressure cuff around the patient’s left ankle. Locate the dorsalis pedis artery. Record the blood pressure of the DP artery. Find the posterior tibial (PT) artery. Record the blood pressure of the PT artery.

Answer: The goal is to keep his arms and legs at heart-level so as to get the most accurate blood pressure reading. Remove the blood pressure cuff from your patient’s arm. Position the cuff two inches above the malleolus (the bony knob) of the ankle. Make sure that the cuff is not wrapped too tightly. Check its tightness by inserting two fingers. If you can’t insert two fingers, then it is too tight. Make sure that you have the right sized cuff for your patient. The width of the cuff should be slightly wider than the diameter of the lower leg. The dorsalis pedis (DP) artery is located on the upper surface of the foot, right near where the foot meets the ankle. Spread ultrasound gel on this upper area of the foot. Use a Doppler probe to located the strongest point of the DP. Move the probe around until your find the spot where the pulse is the loudest. You should hear a pulsating or whooshing sound. Inflate the blood pressure cuff to about 20 mmHg above the patient’s regular systolic pressure or until the whooshing sound from the Doppler is gone. Deflate the cuff and take note when the whooshing sound returns. This is the systolic blood pressure of the ankle. For the most accurate ABI, you should take the blood pressure of both the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries. The PT is located about one-fourth of the way up the back side of the calf. Place ultrasound gel on the area and use the Doppler probe to find the spot where the PT pulse is the strongest. Repeat the same process that you did to find the DP artery. Once finished, record the pressure and then switch the cuff to the right leg. Record the blood pressure of the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries on the right leg.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lower the trap into the bottom of a shallow stream. Secure the anchor line to a stick on the shore. Leave the trap overnight. Pull the trap out of the stream by the anchor line. Untie or cut the fishing line to open the trap and remove the minnows.

Answer: Hold the trap by the anchor line and lower it into a stream that’s 3 ft (0.91 m) deep or less. Let the trap settle on the bottom with the added weight from the rocks inside the bottle. Avoid streams with fast moving currents. The current should not be strong enough to move the bottle away from where you lower it down. If the current is too strong, look for a different location to place your trap. You can hang the anchor line from a tree branch if there are any nearby. If not, find a sturdy stick and sink it into the dirt near the stream. Place the anchor line over the stick. If the trap begins to float away, the anchor line will catch on the stick and keep it in place.  Make sure the stick is inserted at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) into the dirt so it has enough leverage to hold the trap back if it begins to drift away. You can also loop the anchor line over any other stationary objects within reach. It will take time for the minnows to locate the trap, enter it, and become stuck. Once you’re sure the trap is secure, leave the area for 24 hours. The minnows will stay alive inside the trap when you catch them, so it’s okay to leave them in there overnight. When you return the following day, locate the anchor line and stick you used to secure it. Grab the line with your hand and use it to pull the trap up and out of the water. With a little luck, you’ll have a trap full of minnows!  The minnows enter through the small hole in the bottle’s nozzle but are unable to find their way back out. Be careful pulling the trap out of the water as it will be heavy and slippery. Once you remove the fishing line holding the 2 pieces of the trap together, set the bottle upright and remove the top part of the bottle.  You can remove the minnows and put them in a cooler until you use them as bait, or keep them alive in water as you fish. If you untie the fishing line, you can reuse it to put the trap back together.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify reasons why you want to love being naked. Spend more time naked. Compliment your own naked body. Remind yourself that your body is unique. Show compassion for yourself. Turn your negative thoughts into positive ones. Repeat a mantra.

Answer:
In order to motivate yourself to change the way that you feel when you are naked, identify some of the reasons why you want to feel good naked. Write these reasons down so that you can review them and decide if they are about you or about someone else. If your reasons are about you, then you have a healthy motivation for improving your body image. If they are about someone else, then you may not have a healthy reason for changing your body image and you may need to see a therapist for help.  For example, reasons that are about you might be something like, “I want to feel good naked so that I will feel less self-conscious when I am with my boyfriend/girlfriend.” Or, "I want to love being naked so that I can visit a nude beach when I go on vacation this summer." Reasons that are about someone else might sound something like, "I want to love being naked so that my boyfriend/girlfriend will like my body more." Or, "I want to feel good naked so that people will not be grossed out by me when I visit a nude beach." One of the best ways to start feeling more comfortable being naked is to spend more time in the nude. You can expose yourself to being naked and the more you do it, the more comfortable you should become. Make sure that you stay relaxed while you spend time naked. Try deep breathing or even do a bit of naked yoga to stay relaxed while you are naked. Try walking around your house (or bedroom) naked for a little while each day. If you have your own pool (where no one can see you), go skinny dipping! Identifying your favorite features may help you to feel better when you are naked. Look in the mirror while you are naked and try to identify your favorite parts of your body. As you notice the parts of your body that you like, tell yourself out loud. Repeat this process every day and you should begin to notice more of your good features and feel better while naked. For example, you might say to yourself, “I really like the shape of my calves.” Or, “I have a great butt.” There are so many different types of bodies in the world, so it is important to remember that you have a unique, beautiful body. Try to focus on how different other bodies are to see that there is a lot of variation in body types. Pay attention to how other people’s bodies look when you go to a mall or, better yet, a public pool. Note the different shapes, sizes, colors, and other features of people’s bodies. Just be careful not to stare or you may get into trouble. Being compassionate towards yourself can improve your self-image and help you to feel better about yourself while you are naked. Self-compassion means being kind to yourself, even if you don’t feel deserving of kindness. This kindness can come in the form of kind thoughts, kind behaviors, or kind words. If you find yourself thinking unkind things to yourself, ask yourself the following questions to determine if you are having an unkind thought:  Does this thought make me feel good? Would I say this thought to a friend or loved one? Does this thought encourage me? If you have a hard time feeling good when you are naked, you may be falling victim to your own negative thoughts. Changing the way that you speak to yourself can also help you to feel better when you are naked. The next time you have a negative thought about your naked body, stop yourself and turn the negative thought into a positive one. For example, imagine you have a negative thought like, “I look like a pig.” You can turn this thought around by changing it to something like, “I may not be the thinnest person, but I have a lot of great features and I love how unique my body is.” Repeating a mantra can help to calm you down when you are feeling anxious and it can also help you to silence your inner critic. Your mantra can be anything, but you will get the most benefit if your mantra sends a positive message to you. Try something like, “I love myself and I deserve to love being naked.”
