| Part A: |
| It is an unusually hot, muggy day in early May, and the beginning of the season for your soccer team; you are in charge of coaching a |
| group of 8–10 year olds. There are a few new players in the group that you did not coach last year. Just before your practice starts at |
| noon, 9-year-old Sammy, a new player, gets dropped off by her mother. Sammy immediately runs out onto the field with her ball, and |
| is excited to be playing on the team. You have never met her mother before, but she comes over to you and despite being in a rush |
| mentions that Sammy has had hay fever all her life and that lately she has noticed wheezing when she exerts herself, but doesn’t think |
| it’s a problem. She casually suggests that Sammy has been playing more video games lately with her older brother and isn’t in as good |
| shape as she was a couple of years ago, since she hasn’t participated in organized sport in the last 12 months. She also mentions that |
| Sammy is just getting over a lingering cold but should be fine to practice. Sammy’s mom gives Sammy a hug and tells you that she |
| will be back to pick her up at the end of practice. |
| Part B: |
| On Wednesday the following week, you check the forecast and find that Saturday is forecast to be another unusually hot and muggy |
| day. In anticipation of a hot day ahead, on the morning of your practice you check the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) for |
| your community, and it provides a reading of 7. You are aware that four of the players on your team are affected by respiratory allergy, |
| and an additional two are diagnosed with asthma. All six of these players are attending practice today, which starts at noon. |
