Using your own words, explain in a short paragraph how to use refusal skills

Answers

Answer 1
1. Say “NO THANKS.”
The easiest but some forget to try it. This often works when you are faced with friendly or teasing pressure.
2. Give a Reason, Fact or Excuse.
The excuse needs to get you away from the person or situation. Practice an excuse so that you won’t hesitate and will sound confident. Have a code word to use with your parents. Text them the word and have them call to say you need to come home.
“My mom just called. Sorry..I gotta go. Something’s going on at home”.
“My parents would ground me for life”
“I forgot that I have a doctor’s appt. this afternoon”
“I already lost my phone privileges. If they find me doing
this stuff I won’t be able to go anywhere for a month!”
3. Walk Away.
One of the most effective refusal skills is just too walk away. You may feel obligated to stand and face “the enemy” but you need to just leave. Say no and walk away while saying it.
4. Change the Subject.
You can offer another alternative activity: “No. Let’s go play ball instead” or “Let’s go get a snack at my house. I’m hungry.” or “I wanted to play my Xbox this afternoon”
5. Use Humor.
“No thanks. This stuff stunts my growth. I want to be tall to play ball.”
“Man, I need all the brain cells I can get. No thanks.”
“Pot makes you stupid and gives you yellow teeth..I’ll pass.”
6. Broken Record or Repeated Refusal.
Keep saying “no” over and over again. It will buy you some time to use another refusal technique or be an annoyance.
7. Cold Shoulder or Ignore.
Avoid directly confronting the person. Turn your shoulder and talk to someone else or just ignore them like you don’t hear them.
8. Avoid the Situation.
Common sense tells you the places and times where there may be problems with peer pressure. Avoid these situations.
9. Strength in numbers.
The truth is simple. If you surround yourself with friends that make good choices then you will too. The opposite is true as well. One of your most important choices you can make is the choice of your friends. Choose to hang out with non-users.
Important Points to Remember:
Even at a young age, you can be a great example for other kids when you say ‘no’ to alcohol, tobacco & other drugs. Respect yourself & your family by not causing harm to your body. Your parents are relying on you to be responsible. Show them that they can trust you. Resist being with people that are making bad choices. Become active in things to meet new people & learn new skills. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from someone you trust!

Vitamin D

Daily intake of 600 IU (International Units) of vitamin D up to age 70.

Men and women over age 70 should increase their uptake to 800 IU

Explanation:

Calcium and vitamin D are needed by the body in order to build strong and dense bones as well as strong and healthy teeth. In addition to building bones and keeping them healthy, calcium enables our blood to clot, aids muscles contraction, as well as the beating of the heart.

Vitamin D is needed by the body for the absorption of calcium from food. The main sources of vitamin D is from the reaction of the skin on exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D is also found in food and supplements.

When the body lacks vitamin D and calcium, there will be poor development of bones and teeth. This results in low bone mass and a high incidence of fractures. In the elderly, it a common cause of osteoporosis and rickets in children. Such individuals will require additional supplements of these nutrients.

According to the NIH,  the standard doses for calcium and vitamin D are as follows:

leaves five plants untreated as a control. She makes careful notes of how she set up her

experiment and then records her data about all of the plants. How can Mandy make sure that

her experiment can be replicated by others? *

O A. Mandy should publish her results in a scientific journal.

O B. Mandy should specify which brands of pesticide she is using.

O C. Mandy should use five plants for each group.

D. Mandy should specify which brands of pesticide she is using as well as use the same number of plants for

each group

Answers

Answer: A. Mandy should publish her results in a scientific journal.

Explanation:

Research results are generally accepted as truth only after they have been repeated by several people and the same result was seen. It is for this reason that there needs to be enough information from previous research for other researchers to go on.

On way of ensuring this is to publish the results of the research in a scientific journal. These are read primarily by other scientists who will then be able to repeat the experiment to add credence to the results.
