How to Alleviate Nausea from Medicine

  1. Maintain a quiet, well-ventilated environment.
  2. Keep a clean basin and tissues within reach. When uncomfortable, use relaxation techniques, guided imagery, hypnosis, music therapy, and/or television.
  3. Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after you vomit.
  4. Avoid moving suddenly; lie still.
  5. Identify irritants and triggers that could make nausea worse (strong odours from food, plants, perfume,etc.) After nausea has been relieved, start taking in small amounts of clear fluids (ginger ale), then crackers. Slowly progress to a soft diet.
  6. See your primary care provider to see if you are a candidate for medications that will help control the nausea or a technique called "transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation" (for chemo patients)
  7. Consider learning acupressure, applying pressure at points P6 ST36 (on both sides). These are located on the back of the wrist and by the knee, but you need to use an exact location.

How to Excel As a Student in England

Tired of getting bad reports from school? Do you live in England where the education system is totally different from Americans? Are you going into Year 7 or higher? Then this is the Wiki Article for you.

  1. Get good stationery. To 'excel' as a student you need to act like a student. As a student you have to be organised. A basic way to get organised is to buy stationery. Stationery can be bought anywhere but if you want to buy cheap good quality school supplies I would suggest Wilkinsons. You need to buy the obvious: Pens; Black, blue and red (35p for a pack with 5 blue 4 black and 2 red.) Pencils; I suggest the normal pencils (more reliable than lead pencils.) Rubbers; 9p each in Wilkinsons Sharpeners, Highlighters, Punched Pockets, Folders, Dividers.
  2. Have the right attitude. There are five most important years after year 7 which are Year 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. So the attitude must be focused and motivated. The biggest incentive, yes bigger than money is SUCCESS. If you work your hardest in these years you will have success. So be optmistic.
  3. Do your best work. To excel is just to do well, no even better to do your best. So the work must be your best. So the basics are to make sure that all work is well presented and are on time.
