Unit review questions
1. Evaluate a nicotine safety claim: A famous influencer calls a vape harmless with no evidence. What fits?
Need a hint?
  • Fewer harmful substances does not mean none or safe.
  • Do not taste, handle or test products to evaluate a health claim.
2. Use a bounded refusal and exit plan: A calm invitation conflicts with the character’s preference. What fits?
Need a hint?
  • A no does not require a health disclosure or successful debate.
  • A phrase cannot guarantee safety; blocked exits and threats need help.
3. Respond to a suspected concussion appropriately: A teammate offers to decide severity using a worksheet score. What fits?
Need a hint?
  • Only a healthcare provider assesses/clears suspected concussion; peers and timers cannot.
  • Feeling better does not authorize same-day return after suspected concussion.
4. Plan for heat without testing tolerance: Weakness is reported during a hot session. What fits?
Need a hint?
  • Do not test endurance in unsafe heat to complete a lesson.
  • Faintness or weakness in heat calls for stopping and prompt appropriate help.

Use the skills in a new task

A fictional event combines a nicotine advertisement, repeated pressure and a possible concussion after a hit. Write a bounded evidence and safety plan.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Use the supplied facts without personal disclosures.
  • Apply at least two methods from this unit.
  • Show the sequence, calculation or evidence behind the decision.
  • Include a relevant boundary, help step or accessible alternative.
Compare with a model response

Reject the ad’s fewer-means-safe logic. Use a clear refusal and a supervised exit for repeated pressure, with backup safety help. A suspected concussion requires immediate removal, no same-day return and healthcare assessment; peers cannot clear it. No exposure, confrontation or symptom test is required.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
