The school nurse is planning a smoking-prevention program for middle school students. The tip that is most likely to be effective in preventing middle school children from smoking is
having a local high school basketball star come to talk to the students about the importance of not smoking.
2. having the school's biology teacherdemonstrate the pathophysiology of the effects of smoking tobacco on the body.
3. developing colorful posters withcatchy slogans and placing them all over the school.
4. having a pledge campaign withprizes awarded,during which students sign contracts saying that they will not use tobacco products.
Answer:1
Rationale: While all of the above strategies are good,the most effective tip would be to have a local high school basketball star come to talk to the students about the importance of not smoking because students at this age are more likely to listen to and attempt to emulate someone of their own peer group whom they respect and look up to.Information from adults,posters,and signed contracts are not as likely to influence children of this age more than the pressure of their peers.
