A female student is at a fraternity party where alcohol is flowing freely, the music is loud, and people are dancing and talking. Most people seem to be having a great time. What action should the student take, if anything, when she overhears two men talking about having put ketamine in a girl's drink?
a. First get out of there, then call the campus police and report what was heard
b. Nothing, because she had no idea which woman was targeted or even if she drank what was given to her
c. Talk to the two men about the dangers and side effects of ketamine
d. Watch to see if any young women pass out or are otherwise impaired
ANS: A
The text talks about date rape drugs including ketamine. The first priority is to keep oneself safe, so leaving would be prudent. Ideally, the police will allow the report to be made without sharing who reported the potential problem. Doing nothing, talking to the men, and watching young women at the party will not protect the females at the party from unknowingly consuming the ketamine.
